Hi Joefuf.
Well my friend If you done all that & completed making a static IP.
then portforwad was done propley.
That leaves your connection setup CD OR your ISP filtering P2P
Filtering can be, say, 5 00pm to 11 00pm so if you tried your laptop at 4 00pm
It would work, then try your home comp at 5 30pm, Nothing!!
Ask your ISP if they say no, for that in writing.
Peace.

I got two new ideas.

1. I found this other site that had a guy with the same problem... he had 2 processes running on his computer which I have also:

NAVAPSVC.exe
NPFMNTOR.exe

supposedly they are both from Norton, but I deleted Norton a few weeks ago... I don't see how that could be the problem, but looking back on the timelines of when my internet went down and me losing LW, I may have tried to delete it at the same time. Now the folders for both versions I had are still in program files, but nothing runs anymore because I removed it. Could this be the cause?

2. The other theory I had was that I am using eTomi Pro, an offshoot of the network I am having trouble connecting to. Maybe this is my problem? For those of you that are unfamiliar with it, eTomi Pro uses the same network for files and sharing and has the same interface as LW. It is probably a similar copy, but still a different program to some degree.

Ahh!! Joefuf.
Sorry for the late reply, My computer power unit blew up.
You never mentioned Norton, I thought I had a link but cant find it, So if you go to the Norton web site, Norton has a brute force uninstaller that will get rid of
all the crap left behind in registry.
Also if you have been trying all sorts of P2P programs, some can interfere with
L/W, So you could copy the installers for these programs to folder on desktop.
Then Do a search for files of these programs & delete them, torrant programs also Don't delete the folder on desktop!!. LoL.
e Tomi is a scam of L/W not a legit app, n I would not be surprised if L/W had
found a way of blocking it.
I don't know if its relevant but bit commit interfered with my L/W.
If the Norton bits left behind is the problem, when you have cleaned everything
you may have to clean then reinstall both java & L/W again.
Let us know how you get on.
Peace.

Well I have bittorrent and it has never been a problem... I released and renewed my ip just in case and updated the settings on my router... then i did the installation of the files:

java_ee_sdk-5_02-windows

and

jre-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p-s

(first i uninstalled java though... don't worry)

then i reinstalled LW... same message... no change...

I may not have mentioned it before, but i have another computer. Its a laptop that runs on the same wireless network so when I realized that LW runs on it, it occured to me that the router could not be the problem to any degree...

If I installed or uninstalled something that I should/ should have not

!!!Please tell me!!!

If the Java was the problem (which I assume is the next direction you will take me in) give me a direct link to where I need to download the file or files so I don;t make a mistake!!!

Thanks,

Jeff

The extra info you just gave me, tells me you have 2 problems.
One, You should only have one version of java running in Add or remove Programs, so delete all java you see in (Add or remove Programs) & use this
link to get the "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6"

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Next, as you have TWO computers on one connection, You must make 2 diffrent static IP's first then, in L/W 2 diff listening ports n portfaward both
Sorry routers are not my bag.
Peace.

Which one do you mean specifically? (I want to get this fixed and last time I got the wrong one):

1. JDK 6u1: https://sdlc4a.sun.com/ECom/EComActi...047D12F790B904

2. JDK 6 with Java EE https://sdlc6d.sun.com/ECom/EComActi...6FDB46D91D404D

3. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1 https://sdlc6d.sun.com/ECom/EComActi...3D41CD6CBF6A2E

The one I will try first it number 3, but 6Pac or you gave me a static IP link anyway so I am good with that aspect.

I went here first actually (sorry. I don't mean to be flooding the forum with my every step)

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Program...Java-JRE.shtml

No go...

I used the static IP site 6_Pac gave me and it didn't do anything. I installed the java from the softpedia link, restarted, reinstalled LW, added the static IP and ran it. No go. Then I restarted again and same result....

Joefuf Hi.
This is the right one,& the official site, USE the OFF LINE installer.
jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Delete all other java, Before install.

Have you created a static IP for both computers ? if not it wont work
Routers are not my strong subject, I suggest you start a new thread &
put in the title, (How do I portfaward 2 computers,) on ONE connection
Peace.

Well I did everything the way you said to... I called up Linksys and asked them to guide me through the Static IP process for good measure... I installed the offline installer (you gave me the name of the online installer, so I did what would make sense and used the offline one) Then I reinstalled LW... No luck. :( :( :( ..........

So... I don't know what my options are right now. I have my laptop which works perfectly and is also on a static IP and will run LW. My desktop has removed Norton like you advised, is now using static IP, and has windows firewall off. Still, it won't run...

I did notice that my wireless network connection knows it is not being firewalled or blocked, so there is no firewall in the problem. I went through my running processes again and found some interesting ones though that may or may not be a problem:

AOLssc.exe --- AOL's security program, but it isn't in the tray anymore like it used to be so I figured it was shut down

MpfService.exe --- Mcaffe personal firewall service?

MpfTray.exe --- Macaffee personal firewall tray?

SpySweeper.exe --- SpySweeper

SpySweeperUI.exe - - SpySweeper

Could any of those be the problem?

An idea I had in the middle of this whole thing was that you and I could set up a time for us to use a "remote control" program and I would let you remotely control my computer for a time. Then we would know that everything is being done as it should. If you are up for this option, let me know, give me a week or so, and I can find a program for us to use.
