Hmm, strangely enough I tried to get this thing to work for hours last night and tried diferent things listed on the various threads listing this problem with no luck. Now all of a sudden I make this post and when I tab back to LW after posting this it seems to be working just fine again. :xirokrotima:

Good to hear lol :D It might be an issue with UPnP kicking into action. Some routers are like that. Sometimes it takes them much longer than normal, sometimes they just are stubborn. Perhaps a reboot/power back on of router may do the trick sometimes.
