Cool

Hello!

One problem some FireWall users experiencing is that for some reason the 2.8.6 version when first installed in some cases uses the port 6355 as listening port which is port that is not the default 6346 port that Gnutella is set to in many FireWalls or Routers. The solution is to change the listening port in LW to do that do the following:

Open LW and go to:

Tools>Options>Connections

and here uncheck the option to connect at startup and then click Apply then OK.

Now shut down LW.

RE-Launch LW and once again go into Tools>Options

But this time select Advanced then Port and here set the listening port to 6346 and then click Apply then go to the previous option where you disabled the connect at startup option and once again make a check mark so that it will connect at startup. Then click Apply and then OK.

Now Shut down LW once again.

Now RE-Launch LW once again and see if it will connect as it should.
