Do you have the latest Java for your OS? It's very important for LW! MRJ 2.2.6 for OS 9.2.2

MRJ 2.2.5 for OS 8.1-9.2
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75097

For OSX do a software update check to see if you have the latest Java version.

Don't have 2 p2p apps running simultaneously. One will be greedy & steal LW's bandwidth.

Hope these help.
