Hi Anniedan Yes it can depend on version of LW you are using. LW 5 has the option of viewing connections in a totally different location. Plus, even for LW 4, mac version has some differences of location of finding things compared to the windows version.

yes, some members here suggest dropping all connections at once. I'd prefer to suggest the safer option of one at a time. At least then there's less chance of loss of connection for long, for some people even dropping one connection 'might' mean problems getting a good connection back for a minute or several. Depends on user & such.

BTW LW 4.14 was a very good version. I presently use LW 4.16 on my mac intel. Used 4.14 for a long time on my Mac G4 until after 4.18 came out & was very happy with it. My 4.16.6 version has some bugs, some of which 4.16.7 fixed, but I'm still much happier using 4.16 over 4.18 or later.

LW 5 initially came out with a very minimum of tools, only now slowly re-adding them & adding the odd new one .. which is making it start to look even better than LW 4. But still not quite there yet for the advanced user. Still some things to improve upon that are missing from LW 4 or where LW 4 has more identifying information for.
