Check out this thread

Follow LOTR's advice there. If nothing helps, post back with your details (as specified within that thread) & whatever fixes you tried, that didn't work

Did you try reinstalling Java using the offline installer?

Where are all your details???

'firewall and loopback connection' is what it suggests. A firewall issue. But updating your Java will help. We can't offer much advice without details as birdy suggested.

Do you have more details on the model number of your Belkin device? I don't believe they support UPnP. You may need to forward a port manually on your device.

Have you double checked that your XP firewall is configured properly?
Firewall setup

How do you have your router set up? Is UPnP enabled or have you been port forwarding? I can't find any info on your router, let alone anything to tell me if it's got an internal firewall

What changed between when LW was working & now... any new hardware, anyone come in to fix your pc?

http://172.16.32.1 should be the log in address for your device. This will also show the exact model number after you've logged in.
