For Those Who Can't Connect, Part Deux
 

For those who are having trouble connecting to the Gnutella network using LimeWire, we have a potential fix (as described in the previous thread). You need to delete your WHOLE LimeWire preferences directory. To do that, please run the attached jar file - for most users, simply downloading and double clicking on the jar should do the trick. If that doesn't work (or if the jar is opened with your default archive program), go to the first thread on this topic.

Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, run the attached jar, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect.

I'd love to hear how this works for everyone.

Thanks!

Eh, any idea what problem we're to run the jar with? o.O I double click the file and it does nothing, and it hasn't helped my connection problem..

Program, not problem. :-\

What OS are you using? Can you bring up a command line or terminal and type:

java -jar purger.jar

in the directory you have the file saved?

Thanks!

java -jar purger.jar doesn't work
 

I have tried this method without success and I don't seem to be getting any help elsewhere. Any chance you could help. See my thread in connection problems.


Exception in the thread "main" java.lang. NoSuchMethodError at LimeWireSettingsPurger.main(LimeWireSettingsPurger .java:54)

Thanks

hmmm, i am probably using methods that are not java 1.3 or 1.2 compatible. i'll fix this up and post a new purger ASAP.

sorry!!!

I have the purger in my Limewire Folder, and I made my way through Command Prompt until I was in that directory, then I typed the command and it said:

Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion' has value '1.4', but '1.3' is required.
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Envorionment.
