Are you still using the 4.8 or have you kept the upgrade...
With Java did you uninstall the 6.1 before you downloaded and installed the 5.11 and if so what version are you running now...

Thanks for your reply. Sorry it took so long to get onto here.

Yes, I did uninstall Java before re-installing it. Currently I'm running
"J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11."

I'm currently running LW 4.12.11.

I hope this helps some.

Do you see a brickwall in front of the globe with the newer version 4.12.11.
If so could you tell me the model number of your Linksys router as you may have a Nat Firewall that is blocking your connection...;)

I do see a brick wall in front of the globe.

Linksys router model #: BEFSR41 ver. 3
