Hi JEWELZ,

First of all, can you please post your system details (click on link): System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

Also, have you tried using any other Gnutella clients?
Are you trying to connect during peak times or off peak?
Do you have HughesNet security (includes Zone Alarm firewall)?

If you have been able to use LW in the past without a problem (with HughesNet) & depending on whether you're using LW 4 or LW 5, there are various fixes to try.
If LW 5 Will Not Connect

If LW 4 Will Not Connect

Hello
So glad you responded, I included my info this time at the bottom.
I tried the LW 4 fixed that you suggested.
I still have only 1 bar and the brick wall showing.

I must be missing a step or something
I am connecting during peak times -sat aft., after work
I don't believe I have gone over my 24 hr download allowance.
(haven't been able to really connect.

I will call Hughesnet regarding security right now.
I have never used LW on Hughesnet before

Thanks for any more help
