you using zonealarm? it used to kill my connection whenever I tried to send files over msn

[edit] did it happen before you installed SP2? might be an issue with ICF, which SP2 turns on by default

Nope, its not SP2, cus shareaza did the same when it was only SP1, i dont use zone alarm, ive got AVG, Spybot S&D and use the firewall from my router.

It is definatly only when shareaza is used (from what ive used already) and its not like its just the internet stopping, it pops up saying that no wireless connection can be detected and a few minutes later it'll pop back saying the connection is fine, ive opened the ports so shareaza can work properly, all i can think of is some sort of device clash between the PCI drivers and shareaza
