Make sure your firewall's configured. Don't run 2 firewalls together, it'll cause problems. Read the info about UPnP. If your router uses UPnP, you'll have to have it turned on in the unit & also in LW (tools > options > advanced > firewall. Tick 'use UPnP & apply). Do the port test.

You'll probably need to talk to your school's computer admin & find out if they're blocking or filtering p2p. They might be able to help you out. You might be able to try using different ports or using proxies but talk to the school first.

If you know someone else there who's using LW, ask them what they did to get it connecting.

A lot of schools make it really hard to use p2p.
