12) New problem, Never have had issues with running LW, yesterday 7/23/2120 ran fine
Point #10 above suggests the default connection port for LW is being blocked if you cannot reach that page. This could be either due to your software firewall, computer internet security, possibly router, or ISP suddenly deciding to block the port.

Does LW have an exception rule in the Windows firewall? You can manually add an exception rule. If you have updated LW recently maybe wise to remove old exception & add new one.

Any changes to your security software or computer updates over past week or two?

*Edit: it seems LW's Test page is presently down.

Unable to get to Tools menu? If possible get to Tools -> Advanced & check for firewall message & see if any connections are attempting.
