Make sure that your XP firewall is off & that your McAffee is configured properly

You might want to update your Java, your version's pretty old Use the offline installer for JRE below & remove your old Java version before you install the new one.

You mentioned AT&T...if you're using AT&T, they might be part of the problem (even though you're on dial-up & your port test worked). Check out the post below

When you first got LW & could download...was the firewall icon there?
Do you see any green connection bars? Can you search & bring up any results?
