Do I have to change the View setting for every single folder I go into, though? There's not a way to do it globally?

Go to Tools --> Folder Options. Click the View tab. Click the Apply to All Folders button. (make sure your current folder looks like you want, obviously.)
Rebooting fixed it! Thanks.
YAY! Thanks Dana!
Airport question: I have an Airport Extreme that suddenly has started, instead of sharing the IP address across all computers (i.e. 10.0.x.x) is giving one computer the main IP address (70.45.x.x) and therefore not allowing any of the others to connect. I've tried all the obvious stuff (unplugging and waiting, hard reset, unplugging all other routers in the area, and so on)
Have you tried running the airport utility?
It sound like it's been somehow set to "pass thru" mode.
# Open AirPort Admin Utility.
# Select the base station and click Configure, then click Network.
# Deselect the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox.
# "Save" or "Apply", what ever it says.
# Select the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox.

does anyone know if i can make a folder have the files i add to it keep them in the order i added them? i know it does it if i have the folder open while i'm dling, but i want it to be that way until i change it. i'm using Windows Media Center edition if that matters at all...
You can sort a folder by date by clicking on the Date bar at the top of the file listing. You probably need to be in Details view (see my post to flea if you need instructions on doing that).
It's not so much that the folder contents are ordered, just that you view them sorted by one thing or another. "The order added to the folder" isn't one of them unless you create or edit them as you add them.
