That sagem modem doesn't seem to have a firewall. Are there any other boxes that plug into your computer for connection to the net?

You could also try updating your Java, some people had weird issues with 1.6.0_01. Try this latest update instead. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java before you install this one.

steve hodges,

Are you connected properly (how many green connection bars do you see)?
If your connection is ok, try this: Problems with the search

And if that's no help, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).

This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things.
