im using windows firewall and have tried that firewall configuration u post.
im useing a cable internet connecting at home with a linksys wireless router. im using the newest version of java 1.50_4 and LW 4.9.28
i clicked on that test link and it says my test worked. I just don't know why it would stop working after i updated it. the only error i get is that it says my machine doens't appear to have a internt connection and that it could be my fire wall.
