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

you don't uninstall the windoze firewall...

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