Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon ? yes 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? dont understand? 15.

![]() Try changing port numbers. Make sure that LW on this computer isn't using the same listening port as LW on the other computer. Then, delete LW's preferences folder (make sure LW's properly closed before you delete the prefs folder). There are instructions for both in this thread: If LW Will Not Connect Also, try removing the LW rules from Norton's firewall & adding them again. Check out this link: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/226610-post6.html Since you can use LW on one of your computers, hopefully changing ports etc will do the trick! TalkTalk are known for causing problems for LW users. If you use the forum search to look for TalkTalk, you'll find quite a few threads ![]() Otherwise, try the rest of the fixes in the 'If LW Nill Not Connect' thread. If you're still stuck, try enabling UPnP in the router (have a look at the router's manual & there should be instructions). Then in LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Use the UPnP option > apply > ok. Restart LW & see if it connects. If nothing's working, post back & I'll give you instructions for port forwarding. |
