![]() i used to be able to use limewire just fine now it doesnt want to conect i have allowed limewire into all fire walls but it still detects a firewall. i dont know if thats the prob or i dont know please help |

![]() I have Windows XP. I use Internet Explorer and I get my service through Cox Broadband. My LimeWire always says "disconnected". When I go to "File" and select "Connect", LimeWire says "connecting" for 2 seconds and then returns to "disconnected." So far I have tried all of the following: I have disabled Norton Internet Security I have disabled my Windows XP personal firewall. I have deleted the preferences folder of LimeWire I have also run java - jar purger.jar I am running out of ideas. I can't believe it is this difficult to connect. Should I try a different product? |

![]() I followed both the first and second string (deleting .limewire directory AND running the link) to no avail. I also added 'gnutella' in my LAN settings, as directed. Still no connect. Send more help! |

![]() SDASWANI, you wanted to know how your 'jar' fix worked. It doesn't! I am hoping you will tap into your software engineer expertise once again in an additional attempt to resolve this problem. Again, I downloaded the 'jar' file, deleted settings, and tried again to connect. No luck! NOTE: There is a little red icon dot in the lower left corner of the page. I noted that, when I click on 'connect,' that light turns green for a fraction of a second, and immediately reverts back to red. Are you any closer to finding a solution to this problem?

![]() Ach, HELP with Connection problems! I have read through both threads on this subject and tried all suggested fixes. Oddly enough, I do not have the "advanced" tab available for my LAN settings, so I am unable to verify if Microsoft firewall is enabled. However, I believe it is not. I do have Norton personal firewall running, but have not been able to get it allow Limewire to connect. I tried adding javaw.exe to the allowed list (as suggested by the Limewire web site), but that didn't work. If I disable norton personal firewall I am still unable to connect. Please someone help. |

![]() I had windows xp and zone alarm firewalls running, so I couldnt connect. I closed both firewalls, and still no dice. I rebooted and tried to connect again still nothing. I was pissed. Than something hit me, even with zone alarm shut down there still are problems with Limewire. Then it hit me. Uninstall zone alarm, presto instant connection. |
