have Windows XP Professional with Default Windows Firewall enabled and AVG Antivirus. I'm using Mozila Firefox. The add-on I've installed is Torbutton. To quicly enable and disable Tor by a click. My connection speed is 512kbps Cable Modem with a lynksis router hardwired to provide connection to the internet and still allow me to play my console system. I'm using a POP3 mail program. I have checked the box to have the relay set up. However I've been getting these warnings in my Tor's message log window. I downloaded the Vidalia Bundle from http://www.torproject.org/ which includes a Proxy. Anyway here are the warning messages I keep getting:

Note: The warnings about the OR and Dir ports I get frequently. The rest happened only the once. How do I correct this and what else would you suggest for added hack and security protection to prevent people from finding out where I live. Or damaging my computer. Here's the warnings:

Jan 09 21:36:48.343 [Warning] Your server (75.183.169.245:9001) has not managed to confirm that its ORPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address, /etc/hosts file, etc.
Jan 09 21:36:48.343 [Warning] Your server (75.183.169.245:9030) has not managed to confirm that its DirPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address, /etc/hosts file, etc.

Jan 11 20:01:48.453 [Notice] While fetching directory info, no running dirservers known. Will try again later. (purpose 2)

Jan 16 17:05:23.203 [Notice] Exitrouter 'dinmamma' seems to be more restrictive than its exit policy. Not using this router as exit for now.

Well I saw another guy on this forum posting a thread called "Tor Help". So I thought since I have not gotten any response on the Tor forums I should post here and maybe get some answers. I don't know what this forum is about anyway, but if someone in this part of the forum was asking about Tor I thought it would be appropriate to ask a Tor question here too.

Sorry about that guys. I googled "Tor Hel" and this thread came up: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520109 Anyway I did post on the forums of the Tor Project Official site and did not receive a response so I started looking for others forums to help me out. If this isn't the correct place to ask this, then can you point me to a place where I can please? Thanks.
