Thanks for supplying the info, we wish everyone would do this b/c it'd save a lot of time. But there's no need to post your details twice.

Your incoming being false says there is a problem somewhere. OK you don't have a router but, what is the brand name & model number of your modem? (it may have NAT which restricts most ports. NAT is roughly comparable to a firewall. If yours does then we'll need to open a port for LW's access.)

Which LW version are you using? I don't think win me had any ms firewall did it?

I'm not the one to ask about proxies.
