Yes Im using basic
I think there are 5 green bars.
Yes the fiewall is there.
And not sure how i have the router set up sorry.
It seems to be searching a little better now but is finding a lot of junk.
A lot of efreeclub stuff, which I think I remember reading something about on here earlier.

The efreeclub stuff is just spam. Check out this thread for advice: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...tml#post335961

Do you want to get rid of the firewall icon? If you're firewalled, chances are that others won't be able to download much (if anything) from you. So you wouldn't be sharing.

If your router has UPnP enabled by default (the router's manual should tell you) then in LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall. Tick 'Use UPnP' > Apply > ok.

If that doesn't get rid of the icon, post back & we can give you instructions for port forwarding
