Your modem is a USB modem right? In that case the ports should be open.
Leave LW open for an hour & see if there's any difference. Do you have it set to connect on startup? If yes or no, you can try the other way around such as manually connecting from LW's File menu.
To find the connect on startup setting go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Connections & you'll see an option box which is either ticked or not. |
