My youngest is home for the summer, after her first year of college. I have more of a problem getting her to turn her PC off when she leaves the house. You'd think she was paying for the electricity around here. Not that I don't waste a little myself, running a server all day and up to three workstations and my laptop. When my wife's is on hers, too, I swear we can hear the utility meter outside whirling so fast with the juice-use. ;0) > > BTW, this Dlinks' model number is DI-604.
