 The firewall problem might be within your modem/router. Have a look at this thread & make sure your firewall's configured properly, and that you're only using 1 firewall. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=51357 Read all the info about UPnP. If your router supports it then make sure it's turned on & also enabled within LW (tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Tick use UPnP & apply) Read about NAT firewalls within modems/routers, find out if yours uses NAT. You might have to port forward. Do the port test & see what results you get. Give the following info: OS (you've said XP) LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) Firewalls you're running Connection type (DSL etc) Where you connect from (home, work etc) Modem/router brand & model Has LW worked ok before or is this your first try |
