This means that your LW isn't connected. Go back to post #4 of this thread & read through the connection problems link. Do the port test. Make sure you're only running 1 firewall & that it's configured properly. If your modem or router has it's own internal firewall, look at enabling UPnP or port forwarding (all the info's there). If you're still stuck, post back with your details

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW
