 Don't run without a firewall, just configure the firewall to allow LW through. Read through this sticky, it tells you how to configure firewalls. Do the port test & see what result you get. If your router supports UPnP, make sure it's enabled within the router & ticked within LW's tools > options > advanced. Connection problems? Check here first! Read the stuff about NAT firewalls in modems/routers. Does yours have one? 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  |

| Did you configure your firewall? What was the result of the port test? What's the brand & model of your router? Does it support UPnP & if so have you got it enabled? The firewall might be within your modem/router. It's still better to run with the Win firewall than no firewall at all. |

| Your router is a piece of hardware. What boxes do you have that are connected to your computer? Have a look around & see what you can find. It might have 'router' written on it or 'modem' or 'modem/router'. It will have LEDs... some will blink & some will just stay lit. |
