Woohoo, hope this helps someone.

Default I have it!!
I have Vista and it worked!!

Mine was clicked on "no proxy"....I changed it (to Proxy) then close LW then re-opened and re-clicked "no proxy " with the number stated above and it worked. Just keep messing with it and exit LW...when you re launch LW....bam!, firewall icon is gone.
