Ok i have gone through all the connection issues, removed that folder and restarted LW. Set windows firewall to accept LW on both incoming and outgoing. I cant seem to remove Nortons Firewall. I have the Norton Protection Center and it says i have a inbound firewall on and i cant seem to remove it though any of the options. I have tried so many different things that have been mentioned on this site. Also did the "Event ID 4226" patch. I had the newest version of Java and removed all that and got the earlier verion noted on the site... Still cant connect. Any remedies? Any help would be great. Im about to give up on this.


Also there is another person here at my work that runs on Vista and it works fine on his setup.

Edit: Just erased Norton with the norton removal tool and still doesnt work.. Got Avg virus protection now no firewall on that.

Just tried uninstalling it and downloaded the offline version, still no different.
