So the cox versus suddenlink saga in Eureka continues. I finally received a reply from suddenlink and here's what it said.

(Apologies if the above info is hinky and hard to read ... can't insert the frames.)
Here's the deal though: As I was reading this e-mail Windows was updating Media Player to ver. 11.0.5721.5145 in the background. When it was done I rebooted the computer and for the hell of it launched LW. Guess what ... perfect connection. So either suddenlink did a quick shuffle (which I doubt) or it was Media Player causing issues. I'm curious to know if other suddenlink users that have updated Media Player to the newest version are still having connectivity issues.
As a said note, other than LW and Kazaa, I was also unable to connect to Blizzard's P2P update downloader for WoW (World of Warcraft). So in other words, I had an all around P2P block until now.
