Hi all!
I've been using LW basic without problems for about 2 yrs. Now I'm connecting through college LAN from college dorm. The first couple of times it worked, but lately when i start LW i only get 1 bar and cant even search for anything. Gnutella is enabled on the LAN exactly as specified in the instructions. I've tried switching ports too: it works for a few minutes (I get 3-4 bars), but then i'm back to square one. What can i do? Pls drop some wisdom on me!!!!
