I'm using LW 4.16 & get connected immediately. Fix what? lol We are not the developers, we are users like yourself helping out others with problems. Whilst we may have helped point to or suggest bug solutions in past, we are simply helpers here on the forums.

I do strongly suggest going thru these suggestions & combining them: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html

BTW Nikky, any version above LW 4.17 will not connect to versions below 4.14, as shown here Changelog - LimeWire *sighs* .. I hate the concept but that's what they've done. It's my guess this 'might' be partly related to your problem, maybe not. But having a version less than 4.14, as good as 4.12 was, means you will not download from those with the most recent versions.
