Hi wondering why,
Thanks for the quick reply. I was able to download a few files Saturday afternoon. Alas, today (Sunday), I read the notice in my mailbox that there was a reply to my question. I opened LW to click on the Connections tab and discovered I couldn't connect again. There was nothing listed under Host or any other column in Connections. Above Host, it displays Connection Status: Leaf. There is currently no IP addresses listed in Host Filter. I had a file waiting for sources and it displays briefly under Status: Connecting... but then shows Waiting for Stable Connections then Connecting... then Waiting, etc. etc.
I will check the link you sent for a solution and will let you know if that resolved the situation. Thanks again!
Tom

Hi Tom

It sounds like it could be your ISP, Comcast can be known to throttle connections at certain times of the day/night...

Although that being said, your Belkin Router does have a Nat Firewall within, so Port Forwarding may do the trick, it's worth a try anyway...

These are your instructions for your Belkin .........

Hello again wondering why,

Sorry for the delay in replying but wanted to make sure all was going to continue working. I tried a few of the suggestion's in Birdy's sticky as you advised. I changed the listen on Port and then double checked all other settings in LW.

All seems to be working fine again. Thanks for your help!

Tom
