Hi,
Thanks in advance for helping me figure out this problem that's been sending me in circles for hours. I'm totally vexed, and am wondering now if this isn't my problem.
I'm having the same problem as sageacres. I'm running Vista w/ service pack 1, Norton 360 with all traffic allowed to LW. No windows defender. LW tells me I have no internet connection, though I'm downloading other apps at over 300kps. I have uninstalled/installed 4.18.8 multiple times, then 5.0.11 Pro/ Java 1.6.0_04. I even tried an older LW version with no satisfaction.
I hope to get this working quickly, as I use LW religiously. Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you for your time, and for your prompt attention to this matter.

Best regards,

Eric

Which fixes here have you tried?: If LW Will Not Connect
There are so many because so many different fixes have worked for so many different people!
If you haven't tried any yet, I'd start off by deleting/replacing your gnutella.net file & next thing would be deleting LW's preferences folder. After that, go through the whole lot.

If nothing there helps, you really need to post your system details. We can't help without those details - how can we guess your setup?? The help thread above tells you the details that we need, just like the forum rules do when you first register here

Here is the break down on my system.
Vista Service pak 1
Norton V. 10.1(which I will uninstall)
228GB Free of 288
Just downloaded Java SE kit 6 update 11
Is there any other system information you need?
I also uninstalled 4.18 and re downloaded LW 5.0

Which fixes here (click on link) If LW Will Not Connect did you try?

These are the details that we need (click on link): System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

I did the advanced options and I uninstalled Norton. I also dis allowed LW in Windows firewall and then re allowed it. Now it is working so I would say it was Norton all along,

ThankS!!
