yes i have come across this before but I can not go to tools, options, firewall config in lw as the window closes within in a minute of me trying to open it. I have tried to set a static ip address but loss internet connection. any ideas not that up on technical stuff so got lost on this when i found the link earlier. I have read through all past posts and tried sooooo much and learnt quite a bit, even done config/all to find out all my settins(this was a first) thanks Jacky
