deleting/replacing gnutella.net

Try this fix for vista
Click on this link (How to Show Hidden Files In Vista)
In vista the Limewire Folder (or Preference Folder) is found here:-
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire

[1] Ensure that limewire is completely off (check that it isn't in the system tray-bottom right-if it is click on it and select exit)
now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file (see image below)


[2] download a new version from (here) and save it to yr desktop
[3] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder.
[4 Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire

if this doesnt fix yr problem ck out the Limewire Links (If Lw will not connect) (connection problems) (connection troubleshooting)

LW links are changed at times to match the current problems.
