LOR,

Thanks for the fast reply!! Sorry about that,

Win 98 SE
Zyxel 642M-11 DSL

I wasn't even aware that this modem was also a router, until I ran the ipconfig and saw the 192.168.x.x. (I still have trouble connecting to it via telnet for some reason to do the forwarding).

The difference b/t LW and the others is huge. For a given search I'll get 10x as many hits as with Shareaza (on Gnutella) and emule. You think I should forward it anyway for LW (is there a conx test for LW)? I'm perhaps not maximizing it?
