it isnt my computer though, thats the thing, its my flatmates laptop.

and its pretty slow i think, i'm gonna look into windows 2000 for it maybe,
is its wireless capabilities any better?

AFAIK wireless for W2K is as good as XP.

I'm no expert on it though, and I suspect the config utilities may be a bit more primitive but you should be able to get the same end results.

win2k seems the way to go them, i seen him about upgrading to 2000, and seems ok with it, was worried about losing data, so im going to partition his drive into 2 aswell.

if i can get win2k drivers for it though.

also, has anyone else who's went wireless had problems with emule since then, i can never seem to get a file dowloaded. keeps coming up corrupted.

Open some ports.

i have, ive opened the default ports which it is running on,
may try non-default see if that helps.
