Just to add to all the "Time Out" problems with firewalls, I've got one without a firewall! I suffer the same problem they do, though it is definatly not because of a firewall, I don't have one. I closed all the special network services running on my computer, and yet still I get the "Time Out". I'm connected to Indiana University's high speed system, but I'm connected through a router which share's my IP with another computer.


(X_x; It's a nightmare, I know ...Oh yea, and when I play the send baud rate works find.. but recieve is always at zero)

Routers usually have built in firewalls.

Nm... ask Alberto

There is noooo firewall.. not in my router... and I'm not sure if I said I was hooked up to another computer and then the internet because I found that that is wrong. The router hooks us all up to one connection, without a master computer.
