Get something besides ME then try it.

 

[amdskip]

yeah...ditch ME brotha!

 

[Stiler]

I have been running ME for about a year and half with no problems. So it can be windows thats doing this.

 

[Stiler]

bump, please someone help, could it be msn or not? also is there any software that will detect to see if they have a proxy or firewall up over me?

 

[Joyride]

ME being the problem or not still ditch it

 

[gopunk]

do you have zonealarm?

 

[Stiler]

no i don't have zone alarm, but one day when i tried to play ghost recon multiplayer it said it detected a firewall or proxy, how do i check to see if i have one? i never installed one or anything.

Are you going through a router?

 

[Stiler]

uh...i dunno, i just use 56k dialup thru msn. Never had this problem until recently like its been going on for about a week and a half.

I have to suggestions:

1) Like everyone said, ditch ME
2) Ditch MSN - If you are gonna use Dialup, use a REAL dialup ISP.

well i'm bout to get xp, but i can't ditch msn unless i want to pay 345 bucks, stupid contract.
