In Limewire Links below -- (IF LW will not connect) I presume you understood the first 2 fixes -- okay onto the 3rd fix --- replacing the gnutella.net file --

Try this:- (you must show all hidden files)
[1] Open windows explorer (windows XP SP2)
select Tools à select Folder Options à select View à select Show hidden files and folders.
[2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder – go here:-
c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire
(or)
c:\documents and settings\username\limewire

[3] 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) If you don't find a gnutella.net file dont panic - go to para [4] and cont.


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

please let me know how you get on with this fix -- if this doesnt work we will move onto the next fix in the link
