Hi unysys1,
Have you been able to use LW in the past without a problem?
Just out of interest, are you using File_Girl71's version of LWPE?
You could have a look at this thread for info:
If LW 5 Will Not Connect
AFAIK you shouldn't need File_Girl's fix or need to replace gnutella.net if you're using LWPE, so have a look at the other fixes for now.
If nothing helps then please post back with your system details:
