Default Cannot Connect w/v4.16.7 & PowerBook Mac OS

Hi, I have been using Limewire for years and years and kept up with all version upgrades. I just upgraded to v4.16.7 and changed nothing else. I am still using the same Mac Powerbook G4 and still running Tiger OS 10.4.11. There have been no hardware or other software upgrades other than Limewire v4.16.7. Also, no changes to modem/router since last Limewire upgrade. This is frustrating because everything was working fine. Has anyone else reported similar problems and obtained a solution? Thanks!

Make a note of all settings, then delete your LW prefs folder whilst LW is CLOSED; instructions here: Deleting LW Preferences folder in OSX

If still problems, then go to LW's preference settings (keyboard shortcut Command-Comma ,) -> Advanced -> Performance ... and disable all options on that window. Then go to File menu -> Disconnect, wait a few mins, then File menu -> Connect.

If it connects, then can enable settings under performance again.

Thanks, Lord Of The Rings!

I got rid of the prefs folder for Limewire, as you indicated, and all works fine now.

btw, for some reason I don't have a tab for "Connections" (couldn't find a setting to display this tab).

Thanks again!
