I am having the same problems connecting as everyone else. however my problem is I am technologically challanged. I am new to the systems of a computer and I mostly dont have a clue to what is being said. I have read most of the postings over the last few days and I have tried most of the things I understand. I really dont know much about the system I have only it is windows xp home editon programme I have turned off my firewalls through the control panel and I have reinstalled LW on several occasions. Is there like a link or an edition of pc for dummies that I can read. Honestly i should be blonde.

Umm megs009, please only post one thread about the same issue. People will find it & attempt to answer it even if it's initially accidentally put in the wrong section of the forum. To reply to a thread, go back to the thread, open it & at the bottom-right press the Reply button (not new thread button.)

So you use xp & you have been able to connect so that suggests you don't have a firewall issue. One way to check is to follow the instructions on this thread. It must be something else, but we will need more details as asked in my previous post & your settings in your LW Tools-Options & details that you've entered in these sections. We need to be sure you have set LW up properly with your settings to match your connection type, etc.

Force local IP doesn’t need to be ticked unless you’re behind a Firewall (I think.) Locale preferencing of 3 is fine. Modem setting should be changed when broadband is connected.
