Hi, I was using McAfee firewall but now I 'm usingZoneAlrarm Pro. I guess I would have to remove McAfee firewall like I did Norton's as well? I'm gonna reboot and see what happens ok. I'll post back and let you know. Thanks..

Holy Crap! It worked! Thats what it was. Firewall and Norton's AV was making it worse for my computer. After I removed it and rebooted. It ran smooth and fast. I was still able to stay connected whenever I click on something. Thanks Guys!

I think Zonealarm is a pretty good firewall, been using mcafee for about 2 years and had only one issue with it which I mentioned in my last message.

XP Pro SP3, Athlon 64 2100, 2GB DDR PC2100, Geforce 256mb AGP, Samsung 120GB HD (Master), Maxtor 120GB HD (Slave), WD 500GB SATA(SATA1 port), MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Mobo.
