To Bulldog, Burdy etc.... I am having the same OOL problem and have made other posts. I have NO FIREWALL INDICATED, I have tried many ports high and low. I have bypassed my router and went directly into my computer. I am running Windows XP with 512 mem. I do get good seach results (it seems) Are the results to my searches just old cached results or current ones? I sopke to OOL and received the same answers as others reported here. I have done everything suggested......... Does anyone have any last ideas before I pull the plug on this? I was downloading consistantly good for more than 2 years before this problem happened 2 weeks ago.....:eek:

Get another ISP if one is available. My guess is they are doing what they have to in order to supply their other customers with service. They are probably at or near their Bandwidth availability limit.

I tried bypassing my router and plugging my modem directly into my PC but Lw still detects a firwall that isn't there.

Hey your in the USofA dont you have ambulance chasing lawyers over there who would love to bring a class action for failure to supply?
