'Maybe' your LW is set to using the same port as another pc on same network. Changing the port LW uses may fix the issue. A router will 'reserve' a port per computer & per program. So each program & each computer needs a separate port. Else, replace the gnutella.net file from the LW preferences folder. woot .. this is an old thread. lol
