Okay I DLed this program b/c my friend says it's great. Well, so far I like it, BUT...when it comes up, I don't have a tab that says 'Connections.' I can't ever get it to connect so I am unable to DL songs. I don't know what else to do. I'm not very good with computers but I can usually figure them out. But I have had no luck figuring LimeWire out. I want to keep it, but if I can't get it to connect, then what's the point of having it? Please someone help me cuz I have no idea what to do.

Um...Try clicking on the "View" menu and select "Connections" in the menu that drops down. Does that work?

The connection tab is not shown by default - you need to go to the 'View' menu item and tick 'connections'.

You must be connected to the internet before you start LimeWire.

Havr you tried the telnet test? - telnet router4.limewire.com 6346 - you should get a response of "Gnutella OK".

What operating system do have? Java version? LimeWire version? Do you have a firewall/router? what type of internet conenction do you have?

Okay, I did the little 'View' then 'Connections' and it came up. It connected a few minutes after I did that. I have done the 'Run' thing on my comp and it came up "Gnutella OK." So I know my comp knows it's here and all. I have Windows ME for the one who asked. And I don't know the difference between Java and LimeWire so umm, I dunno know the answer to that question. Thank you for your help. I feel kinda stoopid now...hehehe
