Installing LW5Pro - not tech savy OK. I'm new to this. Just uploaded LW 5 pro and can't get anything to work. Read as much as I can, understand little, so I have cut and pasted the important questions so I can provide as much information as possible about my system. Just can't get connected to the internet. If you can help, please keep it simple. I do not understand all of the LW vernacular ie: nutella, leaves, mozilla, mojito, etc...
