You left out the most important answer...
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
You should be able to find the info underneath it or them...

I am on a wireless LAN. I have an airbridge

[wondering why]

I need the make and the model number...

[Mo_rice]

I am connect to a wireless LAN. The only connect I see is a CNet PRO200WL Fast Ethernet Adapter. Where can i look to see what I have

[wondering why]

Turn the modem upside down, the info should be there....

All wireless connection devices have internal NAT firewalls which block ports. So wherever this device is ... is most likely the culprit. Whether that is your receiver or the sender is the question.

I presume this is a radio service right? You receive the signal directly from your isp? If directly from your isp then the earlier suggestion the isp is to blame might be the issue. So ask them to open the port LW uses. But try Sleepless's suggestion anyway.

If they were blocking it on the wireless why wouldn't they be blocking it on the dial up service to. I can connect to the same isp using dial and LM works, but when it try wireless it doesn't work.

1. due to the devices used. 2. the bandwidth used on the wireless is much greater & if they have a policy against p2p due to the great bandwidth it uses, then they may be deliberately blocking ports on their wireless service.
You can't reach that port test page which means the port LW normally uses by default "is" blocked.

Give them a call & ask them to unblock that port. Did you try Sleepless's suggestion?

[Mo_rice]

I can get the port test page to come up now it says ' Your test worked'

I tried the other suggestion still no luck
