<strong queens accent>Oh... MY... GAWWWWWWD!</strong queens accent>

I just stopped running Zone Alarm Pro and turned my auto-virus protection off as a last ditch attempt to see if they're causing my modem to drop now I've moved it to another computer...

I know that I'm drastically less secure now, and will be looking for an alternative if this turns out to be what was wrong (for alternative, actually read 'a box running linux'), but FUCK ME... for the first time since I got broadband, my computer actually feels like it's pulling shit down at the speed it SHOULD!

Fucking STUPID fucking windows-based approaches to security...

GAH.

Also, I'm having bad techno-juju - keep away from me unless you want the mech-lurgy, it would seem.

:/

I use a dedicated http://www.ipcop.org machine. It seems to do the business, and is a totally noddly install. Hoorah!

You just need a spare machine with a couple of NICs in...
