Try using File_Girl71's LimeWire-Fix2 to prevent LW deleting the connection file if not used in 30 days http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post370001 once installed you will not need to worry about the 30 day issue again.

You will also need a fresh connection file. LPE ConnectFix.zip which nowadays includes the above LimeWire-Fix2. So just download this file and follow the instructions. ie: install the LimeWire-Fix2, then the LPE ConnectFix, and make sure LW has an exception in your firewall.

Do not panic if LW does not connect the first time after using the LPE ConnectFix. Leave it running 20-30 minutes. If no connection then re-start LW and leave it running an hour or so. If still no connection then use the LPE ConnectFix again.
