LW connection problems

[sarnie]

Hi Guys,

I have installed LW on to my new sony laptop today and for some reason I can't connect. The diagram in the bottom left corner just constantly says 'starting connection'. I had LW on my old laptop and had no problems. I suspect that my new laptop setting (firewall maybe?) is preventing LW working. Please help as the gf is driving me mad!!! Please consider me to be a complete IT and LW newb!!!
