I have LW Pro & I don't have that problem.

Let's see if we can find out what's causing it. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is it True/False?

By the way did you delete the LW Preferences folder after you installed LW Pro?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: win 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. ram?
4. HDD space available?
5. Connection type? (dial up, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. LW & Java version? Can find this out in the above bug report or in the About LW window.
