Angry LW won't connect to the network

Nothing seems to work. Have tried: disconnecting and reconnecting, have disabled tips, do not have too many incomplete files (only 3), Have replaced the gnutella.net file, have deleted the preference folder, checked to make sure windows firewall was set up to allow LW (although there is still a brick wall in front of the blue world on the bottom.

Plz help! About ready to pull my hair out.
