I am also having a firewall problem. I have gone thru the process of assigning a specific port to LW and all that entails, and my computer works fine. But, when I shut down the computer or reboot, when I come back up, the firewall is back. Any ideas why? I'm running Windows Vista on an HP Pavillion. Thanks in advance for any advice and tips!

edit: I should add, when I go to canyouseeme.org and type in the port I have LW set up thru, it says it can see my port and it is not firewalled...yet LW shows the brick fire wall....
