I had a NO CONNECTION problem after installing stupid MS Win XP sp2 like thousands of people who use that stupid MS Win XP. But it is now fixed. I hope it will work for all those people out there who cannot connect.

Here is what happened:

When I could not connect, I was DESPERATE! I downloaded the LW 4.0.8 thinking I need an update. I was using LW 4.0.7. I got rid of the Win firewall as per forum advice. That didn't work. Then I read that I should download the java update, which I did, but that didn't work. Finally, I figured I installed the wrong Java version, so I uninstalled all the JAVA versions in my system (I ended up with 3 versions) using the Windows Uninstall prog. I finally reinstalled Java version 1.4.2_05.

Then, it didn't work, so I uninstalled LW 4.0.8, and reinstalled LW 4.0.7.

Hey Presto - it worked.... Finally.

It takes a while to connect, but it does it, and now my connection is EXCELLENT. I must say that I followed all the advice in the forum, including removing the firewall, change the LW option NOT TO CONNECT on startup so I have manual start everything.
