Default Installing LW5Pro - not tech savy

OK. I'm new to this. Just uploaded LW 5 pro and can't get anything to work. Read as much as I can, understand little, so I have cut and pasted the important questions so I can provide as much information as possible about my system. Just can't get connected to the internet. If you can help, please keep it simple. I do not understand all of the LW vernacular ie: nutella, leaves, mozilla, mojito, etc...

Thanks for your help and patience.

1. OS version? Windows XP Pro
2. What firewalls you have? Windows. Have tried disabling. Have identified LW as an exception.
3. How much ram? 1G
4. Hard Disk space available? 200G (80%)
5. Connection type? Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? SMC 8014 W-G

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ it says "you are behind a firewall and do not support firewall transfers"
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? got me on this one
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Norton 360
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country Canada
17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc? I am using a new ISP. (previously has Sympatico from Bell)
