Yes, that is normal, what you previously experienced is QUITE abnormal. However, after thinking about it a bit more, that might be coming up because of UPnP. Try en/disabling that on the router (and/or) windows and see what happens. You mentioned under another thread you run Kerio, you might have to configure it to allow the upnp stuff.
As I said before, there is some special software installed that gives that feature, hence what you see on your bother's computer. On 10 Sep 2006 at 0:44, Kylde wrote: > And that's normal?
