what ever happened to the good old days when i could connect...
 

i cant connect to limewire, i read and did all the things it says to do with firewalls on the help page but it doesnt work. i read some guys message about deleting the directory but i am pretty computer illiterate so could some one walk me through it? thanks

OK LW oprefs for Windows: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire
If LW won't connect after that view the 1st few pages & last 2 pages of http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1 & check your results to the incoming test.

By the way keep your questions to one thread only or we'll ignore your threads! See: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29

hey sorry, this isprobably a stupid question but what does that mean? the c:..... what do i do with that?

If you're a windows user it means your c drive. Which is where most of your goodies are stored. Use your search engine to find .limewire to make it easier for you. Press the Start button at bottom left corner & select Search>Files/Folders & type in .Limewire

once i have found the file what do i do?

Delete the .limewire folder. Then open the LW app up again & things should be ok. You will need to reset your options within LW (Tools-Options, etc.)

hey i deleted the folder and restarted my comp, and opened up limewire, but it still wont connect. did i do something wrong?

Leave LW on for several minutes (say about 15-25), then see what it's doing. Go to LW's menu Tools-Options & Bug Report & press the View example button. Follow the instructions on the following link & report back whether your result is True or False. Click this link for sample of what you need to do

its false

OK that's why you can't connect. You will need to do some investigation for me & provide me all the specific details of my questions.
1. What type of modem & router & what's the brand & model no. of them?
2. What Operating System (OS) version do you use?
3. Do you have XP with the Security Patch 2 (SP2)?
4. What firewalls do you have? XP? Norton, McAfee, etc.?

This info is very important for fixing your problem so you must provide me the particular details!
