When LW is open, click Tools->Options & go to Bug report & click for an example. In the window that appears scroll down to the part that says: "Recieved incoming this session". If it says ‘True’ then LW has no problem with firewalls, but if 'False' it does have a prob. In any case see these threads:

If you have Win XP then do you have SP2. If yes, search SP2 on the forum using the search button at top-right. SP2 has caused numerous connection issues with lots of people. There's more than one solution but they don't all solve everybody's probs. One might.
