Hi all. Let me get my specs out of the way..

P4 2.5 gig processor
512 DDR Ram
Radeon 8500 vid card
Win XP Pro, & the rest are unknown to me.

The problems began a couple months ago when i got this new comp, & i think it might be firewall related or something. I'll just number them, that might be easiest..

1)When i use Kazaa Lite K++, & leave it on for about an hour or so, all the d/ls just stop, & they all say "more sources needed,' or 'remotely queued,' or something of the like. That by itself doesn't sound bad, but the fact is, on my old comp, it would never do that. There would always be something d/ling, & it would always find sources for files, so it wouldn't be a waste of time leaving my comp on all night, per say. Now with the new comp, i have to restart Kazaa every hour or so just to get it to d/l something again. Even right clicking on a file & choosing 'Find more sources' doesn't work after an hour or so.

2)When i start Gamespy Arcade, a message pops up saying

" Proxy or Firewall Detected.

Gamespy Arcade has detected that your computer's internal IP address (IP Addy..) is different that it's external IP address (Other IP Addy..). This may be caused by firewalls, a NAT proxies, or other unusual network configurations & may prevent your from hosting a game..."

Once again, it never did this on my old comp.

3)When i try to use eMule, it says i have a LowID. I checked out the LowID faq, but couldn't figure out how to get myself a HighID... It's all greek to me.

As far as I know, i have no firewall on this comp.. I never installed one, & the other profiles can't install anything. The guy who put the comp together might have put one on here, but i can't find anything that might be a firewall.. As for proxies & NAT proxies, i have no idea how to fool around with those. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
