Hi thanks so much for the reply.
I purchased LW on 2/10/08 for $49.95. I paid thru Paypal to Clkbank, order # YJ2V7SHD username:ds0304 password 1952. This was a lifetime subscription to LW thru clk*bank.com. The product ID: 50083-031-2189483-02548.
If you think I can get my money back that would be great.
I downloaded the older version of LW that I liked (4.18). Thank you for that information. I got it to go once and never again. I have tried everything in the thread. I have changed the norton firewall settings. My window security is off. I added the listening port. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I have gone to advanced options in LW and norton. I have done everything I have read about. Still only one bar of conection . Please are there any more suggestions?
Thanks Bambi_D

Sorry, but you were scammed. The official site doesn't use Clickbank or Paypal & has never offered a lifetime subscription. Did you pay for LW Pro? LW basic is free.
It's probably too late to get your transaction reversed or get a refund, but you'd need to contact your bank/credit card company & ask them about that.

Did you replace your gnutella.net folder? After you deleted the preferences folder, did you have to go through LW's setup wizard again?

Could you please provide your system details? The connection help thread that I asked you to go through in post #2 has info about the details that we need.
