Where is the Connect Me software? Instruction manual says "Computer" and "Network Places" but there is no such place in Windows 7.

It's not actually a list of all devices on your network.
It's a list of devices which connected to your router AND REQUESTED AN IP ADDRESS.
If I statically assign my IP Address my system will not appear on your table.
Likewise I can scan for your hostname and MAC address without ever associating to your network.
I can then set my hostname and MAC address to match/clone your credentials and you would never know that I was there if this is the only method by which you detect people.

mac address filtering or a whitelist, are highly recommended in any network configuration.
Rich, I have asked for DHCP to be updated on the product, Skype and the PM are on it and should be refreshed on the next update. Feel free to contact support@ebuynow.com if you have any further ideas/changes.

@maxplay143109 The eBuyNow CEO emailed me and informed me of the future firmware update that's being worked on. I've added an annotation to the video that a fix is in the works.

@jmm1233 It was just a slight oversight. I was emailed by the CEO of eBuyNow (where you buy the box from) and a firmware update is in the works which will fix the issue. FreeTalk boxes by default are set to auto-update the firmware once a night if there's a new version available, so anyone using one will receive the update automatically once released.
