Limewire has been not connecting every couple of months. Very annoying!!
I tried all the uninstall of Java and Limewire routines. Nothing worked!!
THE problem IS the application data in C:\Documents and Settings\Put User Account Here\Application Data is corrupt. This folder is not overwritten
when installing. Don't uninstall, just delete this folder and when Limewire starts it will ask for your settings again. Works every time for me.....

I've tried every option that has been given, and after countless hours of trying to fix this connection problem, only one post has had the correct answer. Skier889 provided with the exactly correct answer. Like he said go to: C/Documents and Setting/"User (whichever one ur logged in as)"/.limewire(this was the problem folder for me, i just deleted it and re-installed it and worked perfectly fine). For anyone having trouble just use this method and u have a good chance of fixing ur problem

thank you so much it works, after so long of trying this is the fix!

I have McAfee security centre, though my firewall has been disabled. my windows firewall is disabled as well. I am windows XP on a compaq laptop. Limewire use to connect no problem for me but all of a sudden it only has one green bar. There has always been a wall over the little globe at the bottom but this never had been a problem. Please help me fix my limewire. I have read everything that has been posted and none has made sense. What do I do???????
