prior LW user with connection problems
 

Im not an avid pc user but I have a pretty good grip on what Im doing. Ive been using LW for about a year now. I recently updated my internet security to Norton Internet Security 2008 (I guess I had the previous version prior to this seeing as how it came with my computer when I purchased it). Shortly after, I attempted to use LW (v. 4.14) as I usually would and was alerted to some sort of bug that needed repair. I was then prompted to update which I did to v. 4.16.7 and now I cant connect at all.


Details:

1. OS version: Windows Vista (admin acct)
2. Windows firewall has been removed and am currently using Norton's
3. Cable modem connection
4. Connecting from home
5. LW version 4.16.7 and JAVA version 1.6.0_05
6. ISP. Would that be Cable/Earthlink?
7. Test worked @ www3.limwire.com:6346
8. I see the firewall with the globe behind it
9. Country: USA

Any other details that I may have forgotten just ask. I shud be able to provide. Any help would be greatly appriciated. THX!!!

Go to control panels and make sure Vista firewall is disabled.
Configure Norton to allow LW; Configuring Norton Internet Security

Probably also worth doing this: Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

Ive been messing with the configuring of Norton for almost 24 hours and nothing. But I deleted the LW Pref folder as u suggested and it worked. As I can easily see ur the man! Thank you very much!!

one more thing... is it ok for the globe @ the bottom of the LW page to not have the brick wall in front of it? Doesnt feel rite.
