I downloaded LW 2 nights ago I used it successfully with no problems. Then today when i try to connect it cannot find my internet source. I didnt change anything and my firewalls are allowing the port. Please tell me why? or how to fix it

I downloaded LW a few days ago, and I know it worked twice now, but every other time I go to log on it says that I have a firewall running. Since I don't change anything, and I have tried connecting with my firewall on and off, and one time it connected with my firewall on, I am completely confused. If anyone knows what the problem is, it would be a great help to find out how to fix it.

I have a similar problem. I used LW here from Aug 26th to about two days ago when I started being unable to get any kind of connection. I'm fairly certain it's not a SP2 problem since I've had that for awhile now and I've been using LW with the XP Firewall on. I've turned it off since I've been having the problem and LW still tells me I am blocked by a firewall.

My only guess is the network I'm on has their own firewall. Is there any way I can turn it off locally or configure it to allow LW?

Not unless you know somebody who works in the tech dept of your school's comp netwk. This issue has been discussed many times on the forum. Do a search for these threads. Be it dorm or something else. An eg thread is * * For Those Who Can't Connect * *
