Did you check out the Troubleshooting FAQ? If you didn't find a solution here, please describe your problem in more detail. :-)

checked it out
 

yes...i looked at the FAQ and could not find any help for my problem...i can get on but sometimes my application startup takes a very long time...when i do get onto the program it may sometimes connect for a second or so and then never connect if i press the button to connect...i will wait a few minutes or so until it does connect but it never will...so if that is anymore help...please reply thank u again!

In the "Keep approximately __ connections up" field, what number do you have? Also, what is your connection speed? How fast is your computer?

well....
 

its a regular modem probably 56k or something....in the box it says keep 4 connections up...

4 connections is a lot for a little 56k modem. 2 or 3 is more acceptable. LimeWire will not connect well if you are doing other things with your bandwidth. For instance, if you are surfing the web and using LimeWire at the same time, LimeWire will be the last priority, and the connections will be dropped when the bandwidth is clogged. Also, uploading or downloading files (with LimeWire or any other program) will eat up most of your bandwidth.

If this is not the case, did you try downloading the alternate version of LimeWire? The link is in the FAQ. I would try that if LimeWire is still not connecting properly. Most people have better success connecting to the network with this version.

Post again if you need more help! :-)

thanx so much bt what is the alternative version of limewire that i should use i cannot find it in the FAQ's sorry but thank u very much.
