Thanks OPMaced! You've done it! What you've set out here actually worked!

The cheque is in the mail! :PEACE:

The whole thing's gone bad again. I'm now convinced there's a virus of some sort that is screwing my LimeWire from connecting fully to the internet.

Either that, or my ISP has somehow disabled its operation.

AAARRRGGG My friggin school is using Websense on their wifi. That aint fair! But that's also wierd too cause I can go to (I did it by accident) a hentai site and look at all their naughty adult images but can't download with limewire? What the heck! Isn't that kind of backward???

Any ideas or suggestions would be SOOO helpful!1

hey um i think i know what my problem is i got vista and one time when i was trying to repair i reset my ip. my ip is now 198.168.0.3 and the one its configuered on my wireless adapter is 198.168.0.1 so my question is how can i get limewire (Version 4.13 btw) to reset its connection to the adapter/router cuz im pretty sure thats the problem. worked fine before btw.

edit: NVM i figured it out on my own i did ipcofig/release and while it was still trying to reconnect i did the stupid repair on my network and chose the option that caused it to not work which was automatically get new ip setting for adapter and voila it worked as soon as it connected

100% SELF resolved
thanks anyways

thank u.it worked great.finally someone cares.so thank u again neroteric.

i have done everything on here that everyone says to do. It says i am currently connected, acts like it is searching and nothing comes up. i have uninstalled and installed and nothing is working. i have avira antivir and windows firewall. on my other computer i have the same exact programs and LW works perfectly fine on that computer. i have limwire 4.16 and it wont work at all. i also had the other version that too didn't work. i am lost and pissed...help?

Providing your LW connection really is ok (all green/blue bars), try the fixes below.

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.
