I have checked the ZoneAlarm Firewall, and it has LW enabled.




My XP FW has also been double checked.




But, the FW of my router has been enabled. Should I disable it also? I have yet to try other P2P programs other than Bearshare. My guess is that I would not be able to connect to the networks too. Or do you have any P2P programs to recommend?

I have tried to change ports but to no avail. what should I do next?

Will it help if I install an older version of LW? Is there a link where I can DL it?

Thanks!

Was your router's firewall not always enabled? You could try disabling it & see what happens... just as a test. You can always enable it again, right?

I'm really not a router person, so I have very little knowledge of these devices! As for other p2p, I only use LW & FrostWire (pretty much the same).

Installing an older LW version isn't going to help I'm afraid. Has this problem literally happened overnight? I really would suggest that you at least call your ISP & make sure that no p2p blocking is going on. If only to rule it out as a cause of your problems

But first, just try shutting off that router firewall... if the firewall icon goes away, that's great but if you still can't connect... I'd be interested to see.
