Yesterday i got mad and removed all above running programs as i knew when ever it will try to access i can deal with them. Now i see only three programs and i feel they are

TCP/IP .. ?? ??
Generic .. vv ?x
Application layer .. ?? ??

no other program has still appeared. Your help was utmost important i am soo thankfull to you. Please help me deal with these three.

should i mark "alllllll the programs" that are in program control list as "?? xx"

I would need your assistance always.

Please suggest what could be the matter.

I was able to use Paltalk on my dialup connection but the speed got so low that i couldnt mostly convey my conversation. So i switched to 100Mbps connection. Now i see the speed on netmeter and its usually from 7Kbps which is faster than dail up that gave me 2Kbps. why is that i am not able to connect to paltalk from Lan connection? :(.
I asked the local provider as to why and he said the local authority of our connection has not permited voice chat and video chats.
I want to know how did they bound that when the data is in electromagnetic wave format or 010101 format. Is there a way i can run paltalk in my pc through my lan connection?

Hope you can suggest me some thing to get my self a reasonable assistance.

Setting ??XX to all Programs is a good Start .

Next is Browser Settings .
