Hi All,

I have 2 questions that somebody out there might be able to help me with. I have @home with the @home software installed. I have been haveing alot of problems trying to play quake2 and UT!!! I get great download speeds and upload is capped at 128.

My First question is about the proxy server @home "forces" you to use. Does the proxy server have any effect on Muli player games over the internet?? If so if i disable it might I be able to play quake2 and unreal again? Or is the proxy server only used when surfing the web?

My second question is about the RWIN (Receive window) value in the registry settings. I read in another post that for online games you want this value to be smaller and not larger. My rwin is set at 256960, will a value of 64240 or smaller have a postive impact on multiplayer games (quake 2 & UT)???

Thanks in adanvce for your input!!
