I have my laptop going thru a wireless router,when i go to search for a group the search takes a very long time to get going. Does anyone know what the problem is please help if you can!!

Routers are like like firewalls on steroids, I know with torrents you have to make sure that the port you are using with LW is turned forward, That may be the case with you but don't quote me on that, You should google forward ports and give that a try
