when i disconnect the internet connection, WLM window pops out and I am able
to access the sign in button, or open WLM from tray.

whenever I reconnect to the internet, WLM is not accessible and the window
disappears.

I might have a file that is preventing access to WLM when connected to the
internet...

anyone?

Greetings Sari,

Do you have a router on this network (or does the modem itself work as a router)? If so, try
resetting it by unplugging it and plugging it back in.

Failing that, you may want to look and see if there is a firmware update from the device's
manufacturer that may help the problem and/or you may want to reset the device to factory
defaults.

Failing all that, you may want to see if there is a web-based configuration to turn off UPnP
(Universal Plug and Play). This will limit you in some ways connectivity-wise (you may not
be able to establish direct file transfers, webcam, etc.) but this is probably the reason why
you're seeing not function when you're connected.

Hi,

Do you mean WLH ?

What kind of security programs are you using?
