:confused:WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CONNECTION TO THE NETWORK?
SOMETIMES IS VERY GOOD SOMETIMES IS BAD.??????

It sounds like your ISP may be Throttling or Shaping your Bandwidth.

If you get Fully Connected at different times of the day, then this may be whats happening.

Who is your ISP ??

See Link below for more on this subject.

Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also can not get connection
 

I have been trying for days now to connect. I had connection days ago but no longer have. My desktop will connect right away but laptop will not. I have tried everything suggested and have even loaded an older version of Limewire but still nothing. No firewall issues seems to only have changed since I did the upgrade to the newest version. I run Vista and my desktop runs XP. I tried to run another P2P but am having the same result...no connection. What are the chances a virus came with the new version??? This is driving me crazy!

I have a laptop with XP Pro which connects perfectly. The vista business one does not. Its a vista setting or the fact that Limewire does not play well with Vista . I have no firewall.

coachjlaw Clingpeach adamek all Verizon ISP users .. does that suggest anything? ;)

Nothing to do with Verizon. As mentioned before i can use my XP Pro Laptop fine. I did go into the user file as mentioned above and deleted it. Now its working fine on Vista.
Thanks for the help

I do not think it has anything to do with Verizon. It runs perfect on my desktop which is on the same home network. Desktop is XP and laptop is Vista. Laptop was running great until I did the upgrade. Did upgrade on desktop with no issues.
I have done as suggested from deleting Limewire completely to getting files removed.
Laptop has 160gb hard drive
2gb ram
Now running Limewire 4.12 thought going back may help
Java is 1.6 again went back to see if it would help.
Firewall is set to exception for Limewire.
I have made no changes to my system. I even did a restore and that did nothing.
Can't figure out why it worked on four days ago and now nothing.
Any help would be great!!!

I have found a fix that worked for me

Can't Connect? Try Gnutella.net file here - LimeWire Forums


:idea:

That's identical to what's listed here If LW Will Not Connect (click on the blue link). :) Which is what users here with connection problems should look at first before posting about their problem. :) :D

I just wanted to share my experience. Before I realized Limewire wouldn't connect, I also couldn't establish FTP connection to anything from home (Uverse router). From reading posts and faqs, indications were firewall (software or router). Long story short - I had installed a VPN Client software for work a month or two before. I had exited/shutdown this from system tray during troubleshooting, so didn't suspect it further. Turns out, shutting down from system tray wasn't enough - the software had a security policy that apparently was still active. Once I discovered this, I just had to right-click, "disable security policy", and my connections worked.
So lessons learned - 1) you may have a "firewall" coming from somewhere unexpected. And 2) shutting down is not always shutting down.
Very frustrating.
