BTW expecting a reply within 5-15 mins on any forum is damned arrogant. We answer most posts faster than most forums. Some forums you don't get responses for days or a couple of weeks & some you're lucky if you get any response.

And posting a windows connection problem in a mac OSX connection thread is out of context. Off topic in other words. Create a new thread or read the stickies & search the forums as the forum rules demand before posting. Not to say we won't help if you post your details in this thread. But we can't help much without details.

We are volunteers & are here when we can be. I've personally been busy last couple of days. And just having a look in as it happens. Forum Rules (click here)

My Lord:

1) I assure you that I am not arrogant. Nowhere did I state that I expected a reply in 15 mins., or even one day. I was speaking to Harriet, who seemed to have requested the help some time ago (I may be wrong about that).
2) It is my mistake that I posted in the wrong area of the forum. I apologize. The mistake occurred because I am a very new member.
3) Can you help me? No, I'm not using a router or modem. My ISP provides a wireless tower service. No, I am not operating from a school, or any other such place. I'm operating from home, and, I repeat, I have changed NOTHING. LW used to work fine up until a week ago. Thank you in anticipation of receiving your well-needed help.

Sorry about that.

Have a look at http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...3&postcount=11 & also see Reconfiguring Norton Firewall

Wireless service provider may themselves be firewalling the line. Did this problem happen at the time of going to wireless or long time after?

Sent via personal message. But I haven't heard back from my pm response. I asked for a full response of setup details as in System details - help us to help you (click on link)

Hi, thanks for all your help and advice but it has suddenly started working! Weird!
