but may help a certain percentage of such problems.
I can explain why the program can help people when LW worked in older versions and doesn't work anymore.

if the test described on limewire.com works and you cannot connect with LW
(http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/faqs#sta1)
or if LW connected in earlier versions than you can use this utility
(in most cases this means that you must use a proxy server, which is a firewall problem)

In earlier versions LW used hostcaches to find the initial connection but now they are closed. Now LW uses GWebCaches, which are normal PHP scripts. If you must use a proxy server to surf the web you also must use a proxy server to connect to a GWebCache. And LW doesn't have a option to set the proxy server. That's why LW can't find a connection. My utility uses the proxy server that is used by IE 3.0+.

The utility works for all people who:
-must to use a proxy server to surf the web
-have IE 3.0 or higher (and it's working)
-the test described on www.limewire.com works
-have a windows OS
(-LW can't connect)
