You need all of the above. It probably could be done with a laptop,
providing the Ethernet would work.
If the ISP is so close, you may be better off to pick the RaQ up
bring it home.
(1) Restore it.
(2) Install all the Cobalt updates.
(3) Install Port Sentry
(4) Install LogCheck.
(5) Take it back.
You do not want it connected to the Internet until you have it protected.
