Tools > options > advanced, double click on 'advanced' & it will show you more options That's where you'll find firewall config & your listening port.

'Within LW' means going into LW to do something, rather than say, opening your shared folder which you can do by other means with LW closed.

Even if there's a firewall blocking LW, you should still be able to open it. In fact, if it wasn't open then you wouldn't see the error message Having LW open just means being able to navigate within it to tools, library etc. It has nothing to do with whether you're able to connect, download etc.

Hope this hasn't confused the hell out of you, feel free to tell me if it has

edit - no I'm wrong. Of course you can get the error without opening LW. Oops!
