Used to connect, doesn't anymore
 

My LW used to connect everytime I tried to download a file. Now when it tries to connect it says that it is unable to, or if it manages it downloads a 0kb/s then stops after a while. this happens on large and small files.

Also my search results recently have been very poor, I may not get any hits even when I search for something that should bring up lots of results.

Can I also apologise in advance for infuriating anyone when I ask what they mean, I am not the most computer savvy person.

12. this is a problem that has occurred in the past week, previously i've had exceptional service from LW

Trying to delete the LW preference folder might have an effect....

Afterwards reboot your computer.

Besides, if you have a brick wall in front of the globe it might be advisable to portforward for your router, since some models aren't doing well with UPnP.

Follow the in link in this thread referring to portforwarding.....(connection problems -click first:)
