If you don't have it, can you _ask_ for it?? Otherwise, you'll have a hard time getting or configuring or opening up any holes in it. eg: if you use p2p and you don't allow incoming packets to those ports, you'll see very slow speeds. Can't help you much in that case. -- Ow Mun Heng Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 on D600 1.4Ghz CPU kernel 2.6.7-2.jul1-interactive Neuromancer 16:48:40 up 7:37, 7 users, load average: 1.87, 1.18, 0.93
