My internet provider is roadrunner, and they have never in the past interfered with the perfomance of my LW connection. This problem JUST started about a week ago.

Dell 4600 P4 3.06 GHz
Win. XP 2000 Home
1024 MR DDR SDRAM @ 333MHz
258 Memory
Firewall is config. for LW
Roadrunner is a cable connection

That's all the info I have. If you require any more I am in serious trouble...lol.
