Got LW installed and can download just fine. The brick wall/firewall indicator was showing to start with, so I added port forward to my router/modem. That removed the brick wall indicator. However, when I go to 'Direct Connect', it stills says I'm behind a firewall.

My IP is
xx.xx.xxx.xxx if someone wants to try it

Thanks
