hello all

i just downloaded limewire and was having the same problem.
everytime i tried to connect it would turn green for a second and back to red again. but now i'm connected and this is how.......
copy some mp3s into your shared folder. restart your computer and then go online. run limewire and go into your shared folder. the mp3s you put in should appear. select one and click the "launch button". i'm not sure if i was then connected automatically or if it was after i clicked the connect button. either way thats what worked for me and i've i know idea why. also my firewall and port settings are at default 6346. using win me.

hope this works for ye

good luck
