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.

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
