Answer 1

Impossible to answer this without more detail. Check your firewall is set up properly. Check you have permission from your ISP to do these things. The problemis most likely to be with these but without more information, no-one can give you a concrete answer.

Answer 2

with voice sharing the pc needs the memory to link you through
file sharing is the same,but if you are on a fixed download tariff your provider may be limiting usage.
you are still on the internet or you would not be able to chat or download.
