Hey Jon.. don't know if you saw the reply from teh other day.. but I'm teh
guy who had teh file transfers FLY for about 5 seconds and then slow to
absolute crawl... here's what you asked for with the answer...

> If you click the Tools menu, then Options, then click the Connection
> category, does it indicate that you're using a UPnP NAT?

Hey Jonathan.... Thanks in advance,,
Okay Settings you requested....

IT says:
You are directly connect to the .NET Messenger Service.
You are connected to the Internet through wired network connection. and...
You are connected to the Internet through a UPnP port restricted NAT.

I basically know what that means, but don't know if it's bad or not.. :P
