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?
Click to expand...

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
 
I've added many UPnP port forwards to my router settings.. directed at my
machine's LAN IP and it's still virtually halting aftter 3 seconds

thanks in advance
 
Greetings,

The whole point of UPnP is that it automatically opens and forwards the ports however, are
you sending to the same person in particular? I ask because if they're in some environment
where outgoing connections are restricted, they would see this problem which would be
unrelated to you.
