To find your Java, go to FW's menu > help > about FW. Exactly the same as LW.

Check that the XP firewall still has ports allowed for FW (or Gnutella), same as it did when you set things up originally. If you're not sure about the settings, click on this link & it will tell you how to set up the firewall. Better to have it set up than disabled:wink:
Firewall setup

Your modem-router does have a firewall. AFAIK your router supports UPnP. Try enabling it in the router & choosing that option in FW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config.

Or you can try port forwarding. Click on the link below. Don't forget the static IP setup.
