Hey

Got some problems with connnections, can't connect to limewire. Although I did check it on telnet I do have a Gnutella ok. I also tried all the connection host names that I saw previously on this forum, I am stuck, I think that this problem might be due to the college network since it worked at home. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dazed and Confused

Could you give me a complete description of your computer and your operating system? Where are you connecting from, etc.

Thanks

I have a 256mb imac, I operate on a Mac OS 9.1, never had problem before. Now I moved to Flagstaff, Arizona, to go Northern Arizona University and can't use limewire. Everything else is working, internet, email programs and such. I thought it might be the college network but a telnet program I downloaded says it is GNutella ok. Hope this can help. Anything you have to offer would be great.
Awaiting your response

I am having a similar problem. Limewire just stopped working. When I click the icon on my desktop it tries to start the program but about halfway thru the loading it just quits. I downloaded the new version thinking that might be the issue but still no luck. I have windows XP and connect to the inet thru a linsys system. Any thoughts?

for some reason my limewire is opening and i can play the music i already downloaded but i cant download new music. it keeps saying you are currently connecting to the network and it wont connect

Make sure that you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured to allow LW.

Try the fixes in the post below. If nothing there helps, post back with your system details.

omg the upgrade helped thank you!!: PEACE:

I had not used Lime wire for six months or so. Tryed yesterday and found I could not connect.
Downloaded update 4.1.6. Still NFG'd.
So I joined this forum knowing it could take a day of reading to figure out prob.
Or I could post a thread and rile the forum gods for not reading miles of threads first.
Today removed limewire sftwr. Redownloaded. Run. Poof all is well. Connected right away.
I am on dial up, but was thinking about Pro. purcahse anyway. The thing that stopped me was I realized that move was no garranttee of a connectioneither.
So before jumping thru hoops presented in this forum. Just try what I did.

I'm having a connections problem also, I thought it was because of a firewall issue, so I turned Microsoft's block on Limewire off and turned off Norton completely, but it is still not working. If I remove my original Limewire and download it again I will lose close to seven thousand songs. Any ideas?

I'm having connection issues, Limewire has always run great on this computer. Now i cant seem to connect, I've tried all of the above advice and still nothing. I've contacted everyone from my ISP to Mcafee and there's been no reason it shouldnt work. I even downloaded Limewire onto my laptop and it works fine there, I'm confused CAN ANYONE HELP?

ya same, it ran great for a while then stopped working. says "connecting to network" and i've left it but it still didn't connect. uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing changed. help!

I have spent about the last 5 hours looking through all of these threads and forms and I'm still unable to connect. I have tried everything from deleting the pref. folder and disabling the ultrapeer to the manual forward. I am using windows xp and have 384mb of ram. I am using a motorola modem with a linksys router. PLEASE PLEASE help. I dont know what to do. I was able to connect perfect before I download the new version of 4.18.3. It seems like this always happens everytime I download the newest version it always takes me forever to get it back up in running.

me neither! it worked all the time, then quit last week, worked yesterday & now it dont.. JUNK!

I dont know what else to do. when lw is working good theres no other program that can touch what it can do. I hope somebody with some knowledge will reply soon
