What are your details?

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

Have you looked at the sticky at the top of this section?

If not, please do. If so, what fixes have you tried. Do the port test & see what result you get.

Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the blue earth)?
Within LW, go tools > options > bug reports > view example. Scroll down to 'recieved incoming this session'. Is it true or false?

I'd say that Optimum Online is your problem. You're not the first
Read these few threads
