First, let me describe my setup. I live in 56k land (hello boonies), and have two pc's in my house. One in my room and one in my brother's. Each has a modem for the internet, and they are networked via a hub, each using a D-Link ethernet card.
1.) I'm having troubles with some games. I got UT to work by making the pc's have a static ip on the lan. Other games, like Starcraft, I have problems with. I can't find the other pc's game. (OS: win2k)
2.) What is a stable and fast internet browser besides IE and netscape? Well, is there really any difference between how fast data is accessed with different browsers in the first place?
3.) I'm also looking for a good firewall program. Freeware! But that's not the question...the question is how do I use it? I've never used a firewall before, so I am totally in the dark on this one.
TIA
