i have read several posts but none seem to have the same firewall problem I do. I am using pc-cillin internet security and i cant find anywhere that allows sites. but even if i turn off my firewall, lw still detects a firewall and says i dont have an active internet connection. i can download SOME things but it is usually slow and bounces from 1 kb/s to 0 and it times out. i am using win xp, cable modem (fujitsu w5), my isp is OCN (japan) , lw 4.10, java 1.5.0_06. i would like to configure my firewall so it doesnt interfere, but i also cant figure why lw has temper tantrums even if i start it with my firewall off. anyone have some advice?
