connected to 127.0.0.1
 

after running through all hosts router ect lw settles on 127.0.0.1 incoming and 127.0.0.1:6346 outgoing lw acts as if connected but menu bar shows disconnected no bandwith flux or hosts this started happening once i got the g-net file into the dir
unable to get search results basically it's disconnected
please advise

Your somehow connecting to yourself with 127.0.0.1 showing in your connections window.

Highlight the 127.0.0.1 connections and hit 'Remove' and if it comes back zap it again. I don't have a more technical explanation, but it happened to me some months ago and no-one had any explanation then, but it was the only way to get rid of it. When I did, I could connect again - no trouble :)
