Maybe, sounds like somethings blocking your connection. What it is is that P2P is an open network. You might have to try to adjust some settings. Have your read the sticky notes posted by Lord Of The Rings???? Maybe it can help you??? I am connected to a hub and have an always on connection. I have had not problems connecting & dling. XP firewall could be blocking you too. I use XP Home Edition and sometimes have to turn off my firewall but there is supposed to be a way around that. You cant dl movie files??
