How many firewalls do you have?
Are you using Windows XP & is that SP2?
Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

I'm only using the Windows XP Firewall, even when i turn it off, and follow the instructions on your link, still cannot connect. My router is connected to two computers, both with the same setup. Windows XP with SP2, etc.

Strange thing is when i click the link that shows whether your ports are open for LW, it says YOUR TEST WORKED. Also, it has worked for years now and all of a sudden, with no change to anything on my computer, i can no longer connect. It seems other people using optimum online in my area can still connect, so i'm stumped here.
