Reason #472 why you can’t cede control of the firewall/router to your roommate:
Late night downloads of the 400Mb+ patch to WoW, going at a snails pace, because you don’t have access to open the ports the downloader uses for it’s bittorrent client.
Quick swap of the Linksys router with the crappy AirLink+ router I have sitting around, adjust the firewall properties and I’ve gone from “you appear to be behind a firewall” to “Estimated time left: about 10 minutes”
