Yet another Firewall question

Hey guys,

Please allow me to demonstrate my ignorance...

First of all, I am Firewalled and there is nothing I can do about it (for now) as I do all my downloading at work (I get hooked up with Qwest DSL tomorrow at my home...hooray!!).

Until recently, I was able to keep myself in the green, but recently after some changes to our network, I've been dropping into the red....94 at the moment. At first I figured it was caused by the changes they made, but last night I left the office with a torrent downloading. When I came in this morning, not only was it complete, but I was uploading at a rate in the 50s and 60s. I was very happy to see that, but I don't understand why sometimes I am able to upload, and other times I am not (?).

Another question...Will I need to make any significant changes to my account when my Home DSL is hooked up? Assign a Static IP etc...?

I really treasure the benefits found here, and I really want to contribute to the upload bounty.

Thank you for your patience during my freefall into the red...I will soon be taking steps to correct that!
