I am new to DSL. I came from Dial up. I installed everything yesterday.
I get
my DSL through my local phone co - Embarq/Sprint. I have tried to
connect
Blubster (file sharing service) and it will not connect. I have
no problem when
I connect through Dial up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Your best bet would be to check your configuration, (and/or just call your
DSL provider) to check to see if there is a firewall blocking less commonly
used ports. Most DSL companies advertise their DSL with a free firewall, so
this might be the case here. Interesting I got a free firewall with my phone
co too, but they don't configure it just have it on!
