You need to read the sticky about connection problems. The first part "... check here first" has lots of info & advice about how to set up. Make sure your firewall's configured properly & don't run 2 firewalls at once.
Many firewall probs are due to internal firewalls within modems/routers. Read all the info about this & find out if your device has an internal firewall. Same for UPnP... find out if your router supports it & make sure it's enabled within the device & ticked within LW's firewall config.

You won't be able to direct connect if you're firewalled!
You said you looked at the sticky & everything is right... something is not right if you're firewalled  You need to go back & make sure you're only running 1 firewall and that it's configured properly. Did you look at UPnP? Does your router support it? Did you find out if there's a NAT firewall? If there is, you may have to port forward.

I'm in the same boat man I don't have a router just connected straight to the modem and I have both Windows firewall and Norton firewall completely disabled and I still have a wall infront of the globe with no connection.
I'm stumped help would be great.
