Start off by making sure you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured to allow LW. Have a look through this thread...heaps of info about connection problems. It's worth reading
Connection problems? Check here first!

Before we can help with anything, we have to know something about your setup. Please answer the questions here

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
