What's your connection like (how many green bars)? Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the blue globe)?

Do this test & see what result you get

Make sure that you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured properly
Firewall setup

What are your details?

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

hi thanx for a reply i can only see 1 green bar is that a problem ?

birdy September 3rd, 2006 02:46 AM

Yes, it means that you're not properly connected & so LW can't return any search results.
Could you do the test & answer the questions I asked before?;)

Also check your software firewall!

so what does that mean , will i have to register again ? sorry that sounds stupid bt am nt that good on computers !

xxlauraxx September 3rd, 2006 03:17 AM

Thanx ill try agin then ! I clicked on the link but there must be a fault as it just kept comming up your test worked ! thank you for your help though .

You don't have to register for anything again:confused:
If the test worked, that's good. It's just a little test to see if LW's port is blocked.

Look in my first reply in this thread... where I asked what are your details... answer the questions;)
Also please tell me if you see the firewall icon (brick wall).
Please also check your software firewall setup... click on the link that says "firewall setup".
