tsp : if you're refering to deleting LW's prefs, see here: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire You can simply use your search function (bottom-left & press Start & select Search) & find .limewire You need to delete the folder (.limewire) before restarting LW. But you must do it whilst LW is closed & make sure you remove the icon in the task panel on the lower right corner before you delete it. Then restart LW (will need to reset options) & things will hopefully be fine. If not, post back in detail about your firewalls, modem-router brand & model, Java & LW versions, & where you are trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)

Thank you tsp. Perhaps it's your connection.
1. Where are you connecting from: home, school, work?
2. What connection devices are you using? Can you find out both the brand & model no. of your modem & router if you have one.

Thank you TSP!

The reason is b/c you have a router modem that's blocking incoming & giving you connection problems. You will need to open a port to give LW access. I have instructions how to forward a port if you can log into your modem using our browser. (Please click onto the following links for instructions.)

Port Forwarding for the Efficient(Siemens) Speedstream 5200 Router & use Port no. 6346
You will also need to force IP within LW. LW settings instructions for Force IP (& sample image) & also use port 6346

Good luck. I believe this will sort your problems!
