since buying limewire pro cannot connect
 

Since buying limewire pro I am finding it impossible to connect. It just constantly is saying 'connecting'. Have tried the purger jar, I have permited all in in norton and have been through documents & settings and nothing works. HELP!!!!!!

Try these things one by one until one works:

1. Delete the LW Preferences folder called .limewire (whilst LW is closed!) & found here: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

2. Update your Java: Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

3. Repair LimeWire using the Add/Remove Programs utility. Go to Control Panel then Add/Remove Programs & click on Limewire on the Change/Remove button & it comes up with options and one of them is Repair. Try this.

4. Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and changed compatability setting to Windows 2000.

5. Right-click on the Limewire icon on the desktop and click on Run as. Then it should come up showing the current user and then switch it over to Administrator.

didn't work
 

Thank you very much for all the possible soultions but unfortunatly none of them worked. Any other suggestions?

Go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ & tell us what happens. Does it say Test page was a success?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version, 2. What firewalls you have, 3. ram, 4. HDD space available, 5. Connection type, 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers, 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?

Have you configured all your firewalls to allow LW & Java total access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml
