Shug7272 Posted August 12, 2004 CID Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hi, im new and while I am tech savy I am not as educated as probably should be on internet speed. I have cox and DL at a lil over 4M, I cant get the upload to work but I will get that in a sec, prolly something im doing wrong. I have COX, anywho what are you people doing that you need all this speed. No matter where I DL from especially File Share programs and what not I dont get my full speed, am I doing something wrong? Is there a P2P or other means of sharing files that will allow me to DL fast? I tried torrent but that seems to be garbage. Any help would be appreciated and any quick fix for my upload speed test problem would be great. Great boards I look forward to learning alot. And if I have said anything stupid please dont flame me I realise I am dumb at times and need not be told. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted August 13, 2004 CID Share Posted August 13, 2004 The only firewall I have is the router and I dont think I can disable it.......can I? Embarassed ok you dont have a firewall on your router... it is NAT... basically what it does it prevent intrusions through ports that are close... but as soon as you open them or a program opens them... It isnt a good think... get a software firewall if you are that conserned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted August 13, 2004 CID Share Posted August 13, 2004 Yep... NAT won't have any problem with my tests... nor anything normal you do... Now there is hardware firewalls, but your router is just NATing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
