Ideed, my connection mysteriously stopped around the 16 nov also, spooky huh, i had not adjusted anything at all. I run a programme called gnotella, which connects to the same sort of stuff as limewire, and that will not work either?

Can't connect
 

I cannot connect. I have Limewire Version 1.8C. Cable modem thru Charter Pipeline using WINPROXY. Tried on 5 different PC's
Limewire WILL NOT connect. I CAN however connect with other Gnutella programs such as gnucleus, gnotella, and Bearshare, but they suck. I really like Limewire. What's going on. I see a lot of other people are having the same problem also. ??????
Am I just going to have to UNINSTALL limwire and give up? give me some hope.

I finally got it to work w/1.8C
 

Heres what I had to do: I found a web site which lists host connections and picked one from the list and added it as a connection in LW and it immediatly connected. Heres the web site http://www.gnusearch.com/php/host_list.php . Hope this helps someone else.

i telnetted and added host manually
 

Ok. I tried the telnet thing. It said Guntella OK then it said the connection had be severed by an external source or something. Does that mean that my school is blockin Guntella or something? How can I get around it? I also tried typing in the hosts as suggested above, no good.

Problems here too
 

I am getting problems here too, connecting, but it seems I have had success when adding the bearshare server. However, I want to make sure that I can access router.limewire.com

In the Terminal of Mac OS X 10.1.1, I type "telnet router.limewire.com 6346". Is this the correct command? If it is, I don't get the "GNUTELLA OK" message, I just get this:

Trying 64.61.25.139...
Connected to router.limewire.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

And then it just stalls and I have to terminate the process.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oi
 

Oi, limewire, i have asked about 30 people i know in the uk and they all have found that limewire ceased to work as from around the 16 of november. What is going on?

I haven't been able to connect either. I have the same problem as others where all I see is the LimeWire splash image and the program opens but a second later it quits.
I tried the telnet thing and I wasn't able to connect, BUT, on a whim I tried to open my 1.6 version and it's working flawlessly. Methinks there's a bug in the 18.c version. If it's any help, I'm on an AMD K-62 500MHz running Windows 2000 Professional.

good bye limewire
 

I have had it with trying to get this damn program to connect I dont know whats wrong with it. I was able to connect before and now just like everyone else here I can get it to connect. I am tired of hearing limewire say its not them and blam my isp. My reply to that is wake up dumbass and get your sh$$ working.

Conncetion problems
 

I've tried everything in the forums to try to be able to connect but I'm still not having any luck. I realize using a regular phone line may cause a few problems but not like this. The only thing I'm able to do is listen to the music I have already downloaded. I'm really starting to get nerve racked over this insanity. The problems just started the last day or so, and I've been using the program for a couple of months now.
