If that test page doesn't load, it means that LW's default port is blocked.

Does your McAfee have a firewall included? Is your XP firewall turned off? If your McAfee security includes a firewall, make sure that the XP firewall is off.

Is home a house, apartment, student accommodation etc? Do you have an external modem or router... are there any boxes that your computer plugs into before the connection in the wall?

Your ISP could be the problem, check Aaron's post below

If they're blocking, you could try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config will show you LW's listening port number. Change it to 64049 & click Apply. Sorry but there's no guarantee that this will fix things if it's an ISP issue...it's worth a try though:wink:
