We always recommend to start with LW Basic first, then if all is fine, then you can consider other options. With the amount of details you have offered, we can't help much. Yours is a connection problem; it might be better creating a new thread in the Connection Problems section & including these details System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

We wish we had ESP but unfortunately, our minds are limited. (concentrates very hard to see their set up clearly) .. I'm sure you're using DOS right .. that might be the reason, LW does not support DOS.
