alright, i admit it, i'm another one of those goobs who cant use a computer for anything other than internet and some games.

but yesterday i used LW for a few hours. today it wont connect. i tried rebooting (x2), and re-starting LW (x5). then i thought maybe my virus software had made a change with the daily update so i did a system restore. i use avg free.

then i thought maybe my account had expired, so i bought the latest lw version.

i spent some time trying the stickys you have in this forum- i couldnt try them all because they're a little complicated for me.

this is my system info- what i know of it anyway:

os: windows xp
firewall: avg free
ram: 1256gb
space avail:4gb
connection type: cable
router; linksys
connecting from; home
LW version: LW 4.16.6 pro, java 1.60_05
isp: comcast
my test worked
not sharing
have had lw for about 3 years
i DO have the brick wall, but it's always been there
i dont know how my modem is set up
antivirus; avg free
live in the usa


any ideas? i'm clueless. i swear it was working yesterday. the only thing that changed was that avg did it's daily update
