Default Connecting...

I've tried everything I can think of, even disabled my firewall entirely, and still my Limewire is permanently stuck at the "Connecting.." stage. I checked on the hosts that it's trying to connect to, and none of them stay connected for any longer than five seconds.

Help?

What kind of internet connection do you have, what operating system are you using and which version of java / LimeWire?

Windows XP, Cable, newest versions of both java and LimeWire (just downloaded both today).

I also have a Norton firewall, but I've configured it per instructions on the LimeWire site, and it shouldn't be a problem.

Try BearShare, www.bearshare.com If that doesn't work either, you can be sure whether the problem is on your side or not.

Same thing happens...connects for about five seconds then disconnects, then repeats that process until all connections time out. I disabled my firewall too, but that had no effect that I can tell.

I never had trouble running Kazaa on here, but I got tired of all the ads and corrupted files, so this kind of appealed to me...any further ideas would be appreciated, otherwise thanks for trying.
