I looked at the post. I have a router, if that matters, but it's on this computer, that is, I'm the host. I can't change it in any way, but for the record it's a 2wire, and I can't seem to find any way to determine what fireware it's using. I'd really like to contribute all i can to the network, and I can think I can take on more than 32 people as a UP.
