I cant connect, it has the little brick wall next to the globe. I dont know diddly squat about firewalls and settings. I wont pretend I do, but I am willing to learn if you will all teach me. 
Okay, I will give you as much system detail as I possibly can. I will warn you, it wont be much.
I am running on windows Vista, with DSL, my ISP is att (sbcglobal.net) and I have the latest version of LW. I already tried uninstalling it, and it did NOT solve the problem. I did the test, and it worked.

I have Norton 360, and I guess by default windows firewall too? 
Please help!! |
Hi nessa,
If Birdy's advice doesn't work try this -- obviously you have updated to this version of LW -- when using nortons firewall and you have changed your version of LW you have to reset your configuration to re allow LW full access again -- go into your nortons firewall and delete the current configuration which allows LW access. To reconfigure your settings in Nortons 360 do this:-
Go to Tasks & Settings -> Change Advanced Settings -> Firewall Protections Settings -> Firewall Program Rule (tab)
Look for the LW program in there and make sure the access drop down menu is set to 'Allow'. then click 'Apply'
Note: Only run 1 firewall software program -- switch off your windows firewall as this will cause conflicting problems with nortons 360 and reduce your computer security instead of enhancing it.
