connecting to network
 
when I go to connections (tab) there is nothing there. And it doesn't connect when I tell it to. I really need to get music, but it won't work!
:confused: :(

I don't know how to get it to work

You need to read through the thread below, it has heaps of info about connection problems.
Connection problems? Check here first!

Make sure you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured properly. Do the port test within that thread & see what result you get. If you're using a modem or router, they usually have their own internal firewall... read the info about enabling UPnP & port forwarding. You might have to do this for your device!
If you're still stuck, post back with your details

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

answer Birdy's questions

You will get a lot better and faster help ;)

If the test doesn't work it may be your ISP blocking the port. try setting your listening port to a high number (between 50000 and 60000. Go to

tools>options>advanced>firewall config

to set the port
