Probably has a conflict with Vista and uPnp. Have you checked to see if you have the latest firmware for you spedstream. Remember Vista is new and there are still some products that may need to have there drivers and firmware upgraded. Some products still do not work properly with Vista. You can find a link to the firmware on the left hand side of the page in the link below.

Hi, Apologies in advance if this has been answered previously, but I havent been able to navigate through the entire site yet as it is so huge.

I have a problem with accessing Limewire (or other similar like Bittorrent) simultaneously when my partner is using on his machine. We're connected to the net (ADSL2) via a Netgear Router (wired and wireless). One can use it successfully, but as soon as the other person launches the program the 2nd person to open has a Firewall msg displayed at the bottom of the program...

Does anyone have a solution they'd like to share???

Thanking you in anticipation.
