 LW won't work after new download used I had downloaded the NEW version of LW a few weeks ago. It worked fine like maybe twice. Now it will not connect at all. I disabled permissions and re-enabled permissions on McAfee and all other firewalls on the computer. The listening port is correct. The only thing I can't do is acess Gnutella permissions on McAfee (I share the account with my mom, she's the administrator for McAfee, but I'm the admin. for my computer). I'm very displeased with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    |
