ummmm yes

that sounds like a firewall

due to that i will post the pics i took of what i did to try to allow it

I am finally online and connected! Thank you all so much! AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!

oh but sadly i am not, and who are you?

felinoel,
Did you open 2 ports for Gnutella within your Win firewall? I'm only asking because your screenshots show TCP only.
You'll need UDP as well. You'll need to see Gnutella twice on the exceptions page.

The problem is likely to be your school. So many of them block or filter p2p. Are lots of other people at school able to connect to LW? Here's an example

You could contact your school's computer admin & find out whether they're shaping bandwidth. That way, you find out whether the problem lies with your set up or with the college connection

whats the port number for the UDP?

and yes i know for a fact my university lessens the amount of bandwidth i use, sigh is that the problem?

Port number's the same as you entered for TCP - LW's listening port.

The fact that your school shapes bandwidth could be a big problem. Do other people there use LW without any trouble? If they do, find out what they've done to get connected. You could try changing ports, there's no guarantee it'll work though. LOTR gives some alternative ports here
