Can you solve this MacBook Pro issue?

Hi Guys,

The problem I have is twofold - I believe they may be related.

I'm on a MacBook Pro 17", the newest generation, and two things are happening:

1) Transfers over MSN Messenger are incredibly slow - I tried AdiumX, and transfers are also incredibly slow there, too.

2) I use my Apple computer to play my Nintendo DS using the Internet sharing trick whereby you turn on the Airport Express card. I have a feeling the connection is being choked off because within 10 seconds of logging onto the WFC, I get error code 91010 (which is a problem-with-friends-code error, despite my having deleted my whole list). When on a PC, however, I receive no such error, so I think there is some sort of connection problem.

Some info:

I use ethernet with DSL, not Airport, to access the Internet.

I keep the firewall off.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
