I agree because I have seen these problems on networks I have had some control over. Unfortunately I have contacted my ISP in the past about this and no dice. They are also the only people to provide broadband in my area so giving them the boot is out of the question. I did get dyndns setup for the first time and I didn't realize what I was missing! Thanks to everyone for the help! Justin.
