I didn't see your previous reply. Leave LW open for a time & see if the same is still true. Sometimes after opening LW it will signify a firewall but once it settles it disappears.

If you're online in about an hour I will try to direct connect with you. I'm being nagged to finish watching a dvd movie so I better ... lol

Send us your ip address or better still as I suggested, send us a magnet link so I can try connecting to you either way. Send it to me via a pm (personal message), & click on the pm button below my post.

When you choose Direct Connect search ... what happens? Do you see your ip address above the search box?
