Yeah I already did that. My neighbor is having the same problem...This just happened all of a sudden. I was able to use LW last week!

Ok....So I uninstalled Cyber defender and it still isn't working. I can't find a download for LW 4. I'm wondering if I download LW 4 if I will have the same problem?

Yours is a problem that's difficult to discover what it is at fault. 'Something' is giving a firewall effect. If still connection problems, check the tips here If LW 4 Will Not Connect (click on the blue link) since solutions for LW 4 are a little different to LW 5. :)

You may need to remove the firewall rule for LW in XP's firewall & re-add it. ;)

May I ask how old your modem is? If it's oldish, might be faltering, being inconsistent. Using battery or mains power for modem?

The modem is maybe a year or two old.

Thanks for your help!

hmm makes me wonder .. whilst googling around about your modem yesterday/day-before I did see lots of users with connection problems of various types .. be it any connection or with a particular game, etc. If it's just an ordinary modem .. should not have any problems with games. And likewise for your LW. :confused:

Did you change listening port numbers for LW? If so, which port numbers did you try?

I thought the same thing......But I was able to play some online games with no problem.....Maybe it's a LW glitch!? lol
