[Platinum Pirate]

Sorry to hear that Nikki. I understand how much you want to simply play pirates again. I went to http://www.hughesnet.com/residential...ernet/faqs.cfm
and read this in their FAQ:

What is transmission latency?
Latency refers to the amount of time it takes a packet of data to travel across a network. With satellite service, that data must travel up to the satellite and back (about 45,000 miles). This round trip adds about a half-second delay to the total time your computer takes to communicate with a Website or host server. Therefore, time-sensitive applications that require fractions-of-a-second user inputs (such as multi-player "twitch" games or real-time equities trading) are not recommended with HughesNet.

I also saw that they have a cap. Speeds range from 1 MB to 2 MB. That's slow and much too expensive. Without a search engine at the site, I can't find this Firewall you mentioned about Nikki. Seems to me that you need to find another satellite ISP. Just my opinion though.
