Try deleting your LW Preferences folder
Ok the reason you don't see a firewall icon is the version of LW you have which is getting quite old. LW 4.2.6 was released on 12.14.2004
The fact you can't get the page to display is because port 6346 is blocked. The question is, is this due to your modem, your isp or your firewall. (???)
Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & change the port no's from 6346 to one somewhere between 49152 - 65535. Such as 64049. Then press apply. Close LW. Then re-open & see if you can connect.

I did the "bug report thing" and it said false, what does that mean??? |
It means you're firewalled. The problem is either a software firewall, a modem/router with a NAT firewall, or possibly your ISP.

Do you have a backup connection? Such as dial up? If yes, try it out & see if you can connect.
