Double check that your Windows firewall's configured properly (no need to turn it off)
Firewall setup

What's the model of your modem? Have a look through the manual & see whether it has an internal firewall, this could be what LW's detecting. If so, you should think about using it with UPnP enabled or port forwarding. There's a lot of info about these in the thread below

Connection problems? Check here first!

If you're still stuck, post back with all 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

No to the green lights
No to the test, unable to connect to host
Went through the help thread prior to posting, nothing worked
Win XP
LW Version 4.9.23PRO (but have tried newer/different versions)
Windows Firewall (Only one I am aware of)
Modem - Arris CM450A
ISP - Ygnition Cable
Connection Type - Cable
Connect from home
No sharing, one cpu only
Not my first try with LW

Hope that info helps out, thanks for the input.
