cool .. good to hear it works fine
If not, delete the LW prefs folder .. which is often the culprit. Other techniques are removing all incomplete files.
I would warn however, LW 4.9 is highly outdated. It will not connect to versions higher than 4.14. And it's connection file .. gnutella.net file is most likely out of date. BTW I never did like LW 4.9 .. 4.8 or 4.12 were much better. But as I've said many times, one version suits one system better than others.
