The easiest way would be to buy the most recent G5. Only kidding! Are U using the same type of connection & same speeds? You may need to recalibrate LW so to speak. When I hear of freezing on a mac it stinks of incompatibility. 1st thought is Java (& Java has a history of those fx.) Make sure U have the most recent version of Java that OS 10.2.6 can handle. Failing that, U may need to reinstall LW.
Also, R u sure your new ip allows p2p?
