If anyone out there in LW-Land has a clue as to the removal of the brick wall from in front of the globe on my LW app; PLEASE help. I changed the port to 6346 and that did nothing.
I'm running:
Mac OS X 4.10
G4 Powerbook [17", 80G storage, 512]
wireless: airport connected, from a two-wire, on an internal ethernet

If you could supply all the details requested in this thread it will help: System details - help us to help you.

Have you allowed LW access through your firewall? Also most routers have a firewall in them that need to be configured. You might find some useful info in this thread: Connection problems? Check here first!.

*BTW: That's 210 lbs of ugly. I've lost some poundage .
