    9.0 MB max transfer on 10/100 LAN

    As people have posted above you are already moving a decent amount of data and your hard drive is probably close to maxxing out. I would say stick with the 100Mbit unless you want the little extra speed for the extra cost.

    Dual Network Cards

    Not sure off the top of my head but does windows have a host file that has dns information, like /etc/hosts in linux. If so you could simple add that name to resolve to the lan ip. Not sure if windows has this but it is something to work with :)

    IRC port 6667 blocked

    An irc bouncer is like a proxy server. You connect to the bouncer on a random port that is open (say 8525). The proxy then connects on port 6667 to the irc server. Any traffic from irc goes to the proxy then gets sent to your computer. As far as vhost, you will need a bouncer for that. It...

    IRC port 6667 blocked

    Look into whats called an "irc shell" or "bouncer" which is basically a proxy server for irc related chat. You can get them for a few bucks a month and they will work great. You can set the proxy to run on some odd port then connect to the irc server. If you know somebody with a static ip and...

    Gah - Installed new HD now old one wont read in XP

    How do you connect 5 drives without some IDE controller? I am not sure on that mobo but you said it has a raid controller, most onboard raid controllers will work in RAID only. Did you by chance connect the 5th drive to one of the raid ports becuase that probably would not work.

    2 IDE Devices on an External USB Enclosure

    I would think the controller card would have to support dual channel, most cheaper ones probably are only single channel.

    internet downloads on NIC A, Games on NIC B?

    Get a 486 and some linux router distro. Setup IE or your browser of choice and just use a proxy server...which is the linux. Not the best option but it is something.

    Spare ADSL modem... Uses?

    Even if you plug it in someplace else your isp is probably going to limit you to one login at a time or connections only from your phone line.

    How do you monitor your domain name when you have an internal DNS server?

    Search for network monitoring on google and you can find alot of for pay services that will email/page you when they go down. Get a cheap webhosting account and setup one of the scripts available online to check if its working. Use a proxy server on the outside to test it...

    bruteforce

    Most places have scripts to automatically ban you anyways after so many attemps and if you try a few more after that it will start raising some flags. Even if you have a huge list of proxies so much activity on that one account would probably generate some flags. As others suggested just...

    System shutting down with Shutdown message

    I have had a machine get infected within 10 minutes of getting online, not even time to setup a damn firewall. Investing in a cheap broadband router, if you are broadband, is a great idea and will help alot.

    Building Linux router. A few questions

    200mhz is overkill ;) I have run some of the dedicated firewall distros, like smoothwall, with a 486 and had no problem! If you step down to the 386 level you start to have hardware issues and compatability problems but in todays world even 486 are getting hard to come by.
