You should really have posted this in the Connection Probs section. Maybe a nice mod will move it?

What are your details?
OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

Do this port test & see what result you get

Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the blue earth)?
Within LW, go tools > options > bug reports > view example. Scroll down to 'recieved incoming this session'. Is it true or false?

Read this sticky & make sure your firewall's configured, enable UPnP if your router supports it & check out the info on port forwarding
