Hi...I have really tried to search thru all the advice all of you good folks have given, but as I have stated, I am Clueless as to Port's and that other stuff. I am behind a Firewall. I have Norton 2005. My Windows Firewall is off. I cannot figure how to set anything to make that brick wall go away. I don't mean to sound stupid, I really have tried to figure it out. Can someone PLEASE help me with this? I don't know all of the jargon that ya'll use. Thanks.

First of all, just double check that your Norton firewall's configured properly.
Read through the sticky below, there's a lot of info & advice for firewall problems.
Connection problems? Check here first!

LW might be detecting a firewall from within your modem/router. The sections in that sticky about enabling UPnP & port forwarding have info about this.
If you're stuck, post back here with all your system details. Post #2 of the sticky tells you what info we need. If you can answer those questions, we'll have more idea of how to help you

Thanks Birdy for your quick reply. unfortunatley, STILL Clueless!! I have no router on my modem, I DO know that. Norton 2005, Windows XP. Windows firewall has been disabled. I found my listening port, but I don't know if I need to apply rules to allow program? HuH? So sorry!!!

Hi Birdy...Ram and and hard disk available, I am not sure, but I have a new Dell PC which is virtually empty of programs. So...I have alot of space available.
Windows XP
DSL connection - Sprint Modem 645 Series - connect from house
LW version 4.12.6
Java 1.5.0_06
ISP - Earthlink
Not sharing connection w/other PC's or P2P programs
Have used LW for a while, just have not been able to get rid of the brick wall!
Thanks a bunch for your help!!!

Can't find out whether your modem supports UPnP, so you could try port forwarding.
Look for Zyxel in the list of routers, there are a few 645 models to choose from.
Choose LW from the list of programs.
Don't forget to set up a static IP first (you'll find a link to static IP setup within the port forwarding guide).
