Hi everyone,
Like so many others - I also have a firewall problem. I am still able to download but cannot remove the "brick wall" to allows others to upload from me. I do connect through a router but I had no "brick wall" when I installed LW a couple of days ago. This seems to have appeared after I downloaded updates from windows. I have read all the related threads I could find but did not see any instructions or fixes I could follow because my OS is Windows 98. (I followed the link suggested in another thread and did the test. It said "your test worked") Any help would be greatly appreciated...I don't want to be a freeloader! Thanks! Retrochick.
My system details are;
OS: Windows 98SE
128 MB RAM, Pentium 2, 68% system resources free
Available space on drive C: 17895MB of 19083MB (FAT32)
Router: Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router model BEFSR41
Connection type: Cable (Rogers high speed is ISP)
No installed firewall software. Using AVG free edition 7.1.385 for AV.
Trying to connect from home. No other computers networked to me. No other p2p software installed.
LW version 4.10.9 Java 1.5.0_03
Under LW options - firewall config - router configuration: use UPnP is selected.
