It sounds like the ISP because my ARES wouldnt work before I ever bought my new router and my pc was hardwired. And I uninstalled ARES and updated it then downloaded LW. BTW, will the ISP blocking stuff have any effect on gaming on my ps3? Im actually away at my grandpa's house and his hughs net works just fine. Ive downloaded several things on LW since ive been here. But with hughs net they gave him a modem, as where i dont have one. Its just a power sending unit. Oh and my internet runs with a upload thats dang near my download. Im only supposed to be getting 256k down and 128k up, but the guy installed and ordered their premium package under the radar for us I now pay base plan price for 2.5-3mbps download and 2mbps upload.
