no, and now LW doesn't even recognize that I have internet at all...

I was also having trouble connecting to the internet myself, so i had to right-click the little wireless system tray icon and hit "repair"

ouchies... what now?

EDIT:
I went back and ticked the use UPnP one, and now i see no firewall, and LW recognizes my connection. I'll leave it on this so i can at least download stuff until further instructions (did that sound rebel-ish? sorry if it did)
