So im trying to connect to a friends xp box thru xp remote assistance. they are in a dorm, and thus have some sort of horrible firewall setup. I'm having them email me their assistance invite. After opening it in notepad, it seems it is sending me their private ip address in their dorm. So, we...

Thanks. I'll give that a shot and let you know.

The card is clocked at the factory settings, btw.

I unplugged a harddrive and a fan. no dice.
