I had no idea IP's were blocking ports. I don't do much downloading anymore, no time. But today, I had some time...so I went to Drumbeat first and it wouldn't connect, so I went to try LW and it wouldn't connect either

For the past two hours I've been reading post here and troubleshooting LW doing what people say to do in the posts.

One topic suggested downloading Frostbite to see if it didn't at first, then I read in their forum that you need JSE 5.0 so I went to Utility folder and changed JAVA over to JSE 5.0. and it connected.

I tried both LW and DB after changing it and neither one worked. I probed all ports while apps running (LW, DB, FB) all were open but only FrostBite connected. I went to Frostbite and checked the port and changed LW to that port. it wouldn't connect.

All of a sudden at 5pm LW connects with ports 6346 and 12856 the FB port. Drumbeat also able to connect with its orignial port of 6699 hadn't tried any changes to it because I was working on LW issue. Drumbeat has no more Forum for help.

What this tells me is that it is my ISP Road Runner/Time Warner that have set time restrictions on usage. Or there is something else really strange going on that is affecting my PSP software.

Just thought I'd add my findings
