Connection Status
 

Hi! I have been using LW for nearly a year & I got pro for about 2 months & I'm quite happy, but for nearly a month my connection status is in "starting connection". I've heard that maybe this happened due the earthquake in Taiwan & it does have a big impact mostly in this region. But now I think the line is OK. I've try all the method that this forum provided but it still in the same status.. I think my connection settings is good because previously it runs well with the same settings. HELP ME GUYS. I don't want to waste...:shoot:

You could try Port Forwarding, but I think your problem lies with your ISP,TMNet Streamyx are known to shape p2p....

OK. Thanks Wandering Why. This problem solved last night. It happened when I used my bluetooth device (plug it to one of my USB port) & a message box appeared on top the tray icons says " your PAN network is disable". I enabled it by going to system properties look into hardware, device manager & I found it was disabled. I don't know how it really works or related (maybe somebody who fimiliar with technical can answer) but everythings it back to normal again. TQ guys
