Thanks for all the help,
I am using windows XP Pro.
I have done everything Portforwarding .com suggested, including getting the DNS #.
I have forwarded the ports in my firewall program also (that really helped my Speed!!)
I still am not connecting to any more people , although I am getting a much faster speed from the people I am connected to.
U2 Lynne --you say to put my static Ip into my router--I will try to figure this out.
also you suggest a wider range of ports to forward --I will try this also and report back, Thanks
