so this will let you know what a Dickhead you are working with, I took your advice and read as requested, changed all the settings back , now Im down to 7b instead of the 20+ I had before and I did not keep a record of what my settings were before, There is not a lot of info as to listening ports info. At present Im downing loading a 1.9G file and have been at it for 4 days I would like to finish it before my 68 birthday thanks for your reply and if you have any other help I would appreciate it.
