can any one help me please????????????????

You're better off making sure that you're using 1 software firewall only & that it's configured to allow LW...safer than running without a firewall.

Try the fixes in the post below. If nothing there helps, post back with your system details:)
If LW Will Not Connect

so would it be a good idea to uninstall windows firewall?

you don't uninstall the windoze firewall...

you go to the control panel and simply turn it off...

thanks people those links you sent me were really good and it had the solution
