Default Mac OS9 (LW 4.08 or 4.07)

I have copies of LW 4.08 (free version) and 4.07 (registered) on my Mac OS 9.2.2 machine. I haven't used LW for several months on the Mac. It was working fine. Today it is having connection issues.

I've been using LW on a Windows machine OK, and can connect OK with that through my router and DSL modem. I cannot see any problems with the router that may cause connection problems.

What appears to be happening is that LW on the Mac OS 9 machine is launching, it phones home to see if there is a newer version, and I click 'no' as the OS9 systems are no longer supported.

It checks my shares and I can see them coming up on the Windows system interestingly enough so it ios sharing the titles outbound.

However I cannot get a connection to search or connect to anything.

I am using the default port (6346) as always and as noted, nothing changed on the router or on the Mac. Just a period of nono-use.

It appears that maybe it cannot see the network to connect. By any chance was there a change in the files that look for the network connections?

I'm getting this behavior with both version 4.07 (registered) and 4.08 (free).

I managed to get the set-up wizard to run a couple of times as if it was a fresh install but that didn't seem to make any difference.

The version I am running on the Windows system is running.

Any suggestions on getting it running on the older Mac again? I have MRJ 225 installed and that should be fine. 226 is only necessary if you are running some older Oracle stuff.

Suddenly its dead.
