Im stumpted I hardly know what Tcp and Udp are never mind disable a firewall I dont have,I disabled my virus checker and that made no differance, Any advice would be great. Windows ME. internet ex,6

Then I read their "fair usage policy" and it says they restrict bandwith in peak times on PtoP? which to me means they block it! 4.1 Computer name HPPAV 4.2 DNS name HPPAV 4.3 Domain - 4.4 Workgroup - 4.5 User name SYSTEM 4.6 DNS servers - 4.7 TCPIP addresses 192.168.1.3 2.0.0.0 4.8 Proxy configuration 4.8.1 Proxy enabled false 4.8.2 Proxy address - 4.8.3 Proxy automatic configuration address - 4.8.4 Bypass proxy for local addresses true 4.8.5 Local addresses to bypass 127.0.0.1;localhost So this is all I have from my ISP,I only download music.mostly old C/W no movies and no programs. I have Avast anti virus and a squared for trojans/ad ware.both good. I did have cable but moved and cant get it here. I have about 200 songs collected over 10 years so I am not a heavy user.I guess I need a new ISP. Many thanks for your reply, I think I have a router on the modem Talk talk suplied
