Obviously your connection issue is a different problem, but we can sort them out one by one.

I went to this link: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=51357 for connection problems, I couldn't open the 6346 page or whatever it is, LW is an exception though and as I said earlier I just turned the firewall off atleast until I can figure this out. (it is taking forever though cuz running the program makes my pc go so slow, I practically spent two whole days trying to get the program to work) I moved on to the second step but when I started LW up, soon after it came to the upgrade prompt, the whole app just froze up and caused the whole computer to move really slowly, I tried to get it to work a couple of times and nothing.

parts of the app go blank right before it freezes.

A freind says he thinks becouse LW is such a big program and my pc has such lil ram (62) that it might be the reason I am having so much trouble. For a lil while though I was able to download, I got one song, lol.

The minimum requirement is 64 MB RAM, however I think that is a little out of date. Since most operating systems nowadays require much of that amount let alone LW & LW probably needs more than 64 MB ram. So whilst 64 is suggested as minimum for the program itself, probably closer to 200+ MB is really needed for anything near its comfort zone.
