Wow... ok, I have to take it slowly; there are too many new things in here... I'm going to read about the devices you recommend me to get, going to sell my D-Link LAN card, and will setup the way you recommend.

Thanks very much for your help.

I must admit that this Network thing is a bit overwhelming to me, in terms of technological possibilities and customizability: wow!

Well, right now I can’t afford to buy for instance, the Barricade, hopefully soon. I’ll tell you about it once is done. :smile: Thanks.

If i remember, there is a device you have to set in XP for those 'automatic P2P configuration, it's called UPNP, for Universal PlugNPray :wink: and recognise the autoconfiruration setup of the barricade, so the clients (XP PC) get to automaticaly configure themself using those ports that are open for P2P (like msn).

I use msn file transfert pretty often and it's working, even with many pc behind the firewall (NAT features) and also audio convertation using msn again.

My family is in Montréal, i'm in Paris, i save LOADS of money from using msn instead of phone.
plug & pray , good one lol.

I'll try to find the settings you talk about for Messenger. Yeah the phone ability on Messenger is great....
