I think you have totally misunderstood your problem and misinterpreted how LW is suppose to work.

Now, at this point, I want other forum members to back me up on this because clearly you have got the wrong end of the application:

When you see the brick wall in front of the globe it means that LW cannot access the internet properly and is being blocked by a firewall.

When the brick wall disappears it means that LW can access the internet properly and that your firewall is configured correctly. Anything else and you have a problem with your equipment/software firewall and LW will not be able to function properly.

By the way, I have two firewalls, Norton Personal Firewall 2005 and one inbuilt in my Speedtouch modem/router so I do know what I am talking about.

Now Junior Member Dczone, if you do not believe me and my simple factual statements then wait until the other forum members reply.




UK Bob
