Thank you.

I guess I do have 2 firewalls -- the hardware one in the router and the software one in XP Pro. Somewhere else I found instructions on what to do with the the Windows firewall and it has improved things, though I won't really be able to tell until a more active time of day. I also accidentally found the scheduler in Shareaza and have set it for every 3-4 hours to see what that does. SO_O_O-o-o Since I can't get rid of the firewall in the router, should I completely turn off the windows firewall?
