O.P. Peer-to-peer connection
I want to open a high speed connection to transfer a large file between two facilities that both have high speed cable internet from same supplier. They recommended I use ICQ since it was supposed to offer a direct peer-to-peer capability. When I set it up and tried it the best tranfer speed I could get was 64K/sec - about the same as I get running the data file through MSM messenger "send file" option, which I am told has to travel through the MSN server. Anyone know if such a ISP connection is possible? Both facilities are behind routers but that should not present a problem - the cable service advertises download speed of 7Mbps (but I cannot find the advertised upload speed) but upload has to be faster than 64K/sec. Both locations use Win XP.
