Why can't he play online games or run servers at home? (We'll forget 
the fact, for the moment that in the Insight user agreement it says 
you will not run servers......) You can can port forward to allow 
access to servers...., and routers really don't slow things down 
appreciably for gaming...

Are we for sure that any Airport or Airport Express has a firewall in 
it? I'm curious as I'm thinking of getting an AE to replace my 
router....

Best,

John
