Trying the numbers didnt work for me. I live on a university campus, and they get there internet through 'WVNET'. So would the optimum fixes still apply to me? Because Im sort of confused about the whole optimum thing. I mean, i didnt loose connects until monday, and its not just gnutella programs, I cant get others like Imesh to connect either.

Sorry to be a bother and ask so many questions, but Im kinda slow! Here is my computer stats:

Dell Dimension 4500

Windows XP HE

Pentium 4 2Gh processor

512 Ram + extra ram stick (not sure how much)

Nvidia graphics card

Netgear Fa311 Ethernet adapter.

No fire walls, not even windows

No antivirus software

No spyware programs

No router that i know of...

Please someone give me some feedback.
