It looks like your firewalled. You'll need to configure your firewall to allow LW full access to the internet. Also your modem/router probaly has a firewall in it that'll need configured.

See: Connection problems? Check here first!

For more help you'll need to post your system details: System details - help us to help you

You didn't answer all the details of you setup.

What is the make and model of your router and who is your isp(Internet Service Provider)?

Try to find out for sure if you have a software firewall running and the name of it.

AVG and Ad-Aware are compatible with LW and shouldn't cause any problems.
