Thanks for the info.

Parts worked parts didn't.

Port forwarding made no difference at all.

Uninstall/reinstall worked to a point - when I reinstalled LW it worked fine with the Vista firewall, but as soon as I reinstalled ZA it stopped.

As a result, I then went for the router option. Mine is different - I don't have the option for custom ports, however there are pre-set parameters for Gnutella. However, that didn't work either.

The problem seems, to me, to be solely with ZA, but it used to work fine under XP, so don't know how to resolve, other than ditching ZA.
