SAME HERE as of now anyway. Don't know what happened recently. For 2 years now I have had several interuptions of "NO CONNECT" but with the fixes available mentioned by these nice guys here on the forum like LOTR, At least one of the fixes have always worked. This time I have to give up. I am having to completely erase Limewire and start all over again. Willing to lose all files. To the best of my knowledge I have changed nothing with my PC like any diff. versions of Java or windows applications as I have this laptop in use for music only. So I don't know why me or runt66 have this poroblem all of a sudden.

What happens when I enable Windows Remote Assistance?

To enable Windows Remote Assistance, you select the Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer check box on the Remote tab in System Properties. When you select this check box:

You can send and receive Windows Remote Assistance invitations using e-mail or a file.

You can use instant messaging to correspond with the person you are helping or who is helping you.

Windows Remote Assistance is allowed through Windows Firewall so that it can communicate with your helper's computer.

The Teredo service starts. This service allows your helper to connect to your computer using most routers (wired and wireless) that perform network address translation (NAT). The service contacts a Microsoft Teredo server to get an IPv6 address for the remote connection.

This check box does not affect Offer Remote Assistance settings on enterprise networks.

Note
To enable Remote Assistance:

Click to open System.

Click Remote settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Select the Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer check box.

THANK YOU LORD BUT I NEED REMOTE ASSISTANCE ; CAN YOU HELP ???

The most common remote assistance program is TeamViewer, but by using it you are giving the person helping pretty unlimited access to your PC. So you need someone you can trust, since to fix any connection issues you would need to share an admin rights account that allows any changes made to your connection settings.

TeamViewer - Free Remote Control, Remote Access & Online Meetings

Usually it's mostly used in a corporate environment, but it's free for home users.

I unfortunately have no free time to help. I even have to go to work today (Sunday)

Ok , no problem . I understand .

Do you have 2 jobs ??

well THERE IS THIS 30 DAY RULE WHICH I WAS UNAWARE OF ; I HAD LW OFF FOR ABOUT 60 DAYS AND NOW I JUST CAN NOT GET IT TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET ; I HAVE FIXED MY JAVA PROBLEM AND DELETED MY LW PREFERENCES FOLDER BUT STILL NO LUCK .

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.

It's the second link you listed here that worked for me. (LPE ConnectFix.zip) This is the one that did the trick, it now shows the file has been removed.
The others listed on "If LW 5 will not connect" did not work for me back in October and I just tried them all again.

The LPE connect fix file you good people just modified Oct. 12th, Did the trick! It works well and quick. Thanks very much!!!

Great to hear!

I hate to ask this but, could I get a file link for this again?
(LPE connectfix.zip) I'm going to need it again darnit.
