I just downloaded LW lastnight and in connections it shows about 9 or 10 hosts, they all say connecting. The odd time one will show the status as outgoing, but this only lasts a few seconds. They are constantly replacing each other with new ones. Help PLEASE!

Here is my info:
OS: Windows XP Professional
LW & Java version: LW-4.12.3, Java-5.0.70.3
Firewall you're using: Windows
Modem/router brand & model: D-Link
ISP:
Connection type: Cable
Where you connect from: Home
Are you sharing a connection with other computers: Yes, one
Is this your first try with LW: No, first time with XP though

anybody? please?

Have you configured your XP firewall to allow LW?
Firewall setup

Do this test & see whether it works

Who is your ISP? We might need the model of your router

Have you read this? It has heaps of info about connection problems & their fixes

Yes i tried all of those links allready, and still no go. That test doesnt work (page cannot be displayed)

ISP: eastlink
Router: DI-614+

Thanks for replying

Well something is blocking LW's default port, possibly your ISP. There are a few articles around that suggest Eastlink are using traffic shaping for p2p.
You should give them a call & find out whether they are limiting p2p use, you might find that whatever you try is useless in that case

You could try using a different port, there are some ideas here
Alternative Ports
If you change ports, remember to also change port numbers allowed within the XP firewall.

Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the earth)??

I can't connect too. It's connecting all the time.

Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall)?

Who is your ISP & what's the model of your DLink? Have you used LW or other p2p apps before?

Read through this

You're better off to have a firewall configured for LW rather than turned off. You'll find a link for firewall setup within that thread.

I have tested you can see in link below.
Sorry, my router is not D-Link but it's PTI 818 (http://www.paradigm.com.tw/P3_ADSL_P818.html)

Thank alot for quickly reply.

Did you configure the XP firewall?

Since you're seeing the firewall icon... your router supports UPnP so try enabling it & then choosing 'Use UPnP' within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Apply to save the change.

Your router does have an internal firewall but I can't find any instructions for how to set up port forwarding for this router. There are several other PTI routers listed with portforward.com here

Perhaps you could find out whether the instructions for any of these other routers could be used to port forward your model? If you contact PTI support, someone should be able to help you
