No, thank you. I am acting as if I have no clue about this at home. This 
is because that weekly piano lesson is more important than my silly game.
I would have to prioritize the Skype traffic. I don't usually raid that night, 
Monday, as the raids are full of the last chance of the week losers. It's not
a big issue. But I am no stranger to opening ports for bit torrent clients, and
 even WoW for those background downloads.

We have a "modem" so old it doesn't even have wireless capability, so we have 
our own wireless router.
