Ultima Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Any reason you need to use McAfee? If not, I'd suggest you ditch it and go for a better one. Not Norton, that's for sure. Maybe Kaspersky. Or AVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 You need to know your connection's upload bandwidth...guessing can result in overloads with very bad results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erufor Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Another question ??Is my connection type in the speed guide related to my Broadband speed , which is 1.1 Mbps, I know it is a daft question but I am still learning all this & I have now enabled Protocol Encryption as I suspect is known for P2B blocking in daylight hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 It's related to your upload speed, as the instructions do say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
