| Read through this sticky Connection problems? Check here first! Make sure you're firewall's configured properly (only run 1 firewall). Do the port test & see what result you get. Read all the info about UPnP/NAT firewalls & see if this applies to your modem/router. What are your details OS(Win XP etc) LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) Firewall you're using Modem/router brand & model ISP Connection type (DSL etc) Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Is this your first try with LW |
