For those who can't connect

I'm not too sure what you have tried ... as this thread contains rather too many posts Nor do you say anything about your copmputer java operating system etc etc. Your post gives us nothing to go on.

Why did you upgrade to pro? Or did you go straight to pro, in which case how much did you pay for it and where did you get it from?

i have an hp pavillion zd8000, i use windows xp with service pack 2. i have a university isp. i dont know what else i can tell u that u need to kno. just let me kno anything else that i can give u to help w/ my problem. i upgraded to limewire pro because it says it has "turbo-charged" downloads, i downloaded it directly from the limewire website and paid about $19. did i get ripped off or is this the correct version?

Many apologies for the lack of reply. This thread has got far too long and should be gently laid to rest!

I'm not quite sure, as I said, what you HAVE tried.

There is often a problem with university and school isps as they are not generally happy about p2p usage and tend to try to stop it. I wonder if this might be giving you a problem.

hey, I'm running os x and i can't connect. I tried the fixes that have already been posted but no luck. I can surf internet and download stuff via safari but so far I haven't been able to get a filesharing program working. please help me...

Sydney N said ' but so far I haven't been able to get a filesharing program working"

This does not give us a lot to go on... I do wonder if possibly your isp is trying to stop it's customers, or some of them from filesharing,

.....but unless you can tell us some information about your set up, virus protection, firewalls, exactly what problems you have had, and with which applications and any other details that might be relevant including who your isp, we are a little in the dark.

If you could start a new thread with these details, it might be a good idea, since some of us have seen enough of this thread and usually bypass it!

None of your fixes work!!! Maybe part time but there is something seriously wrong with your web site!

I've read all the suggestions and tried every one of them and still Limewire disconnects after loading. I'm using OSX.4.3, I,ve deleted the Limewire preferences file, checked to see that my firevault is not active, unchecked the tips
at start-up window and as soon as I try to get to preferences, Limewire quits. I'm not a tech person, so complicated fixes will not work for me. Can't somebody help me?

i am trying to follow your instructions to see if this solve my connection problem but i maybe a little stupid because when i follow the directions to the file i do not see it

1 i click on my computer icon

2 i click on c:\ drive icon

3 i click on documents and settings icon

4 i click on my username

in the window that opens it does not display the mentioned file icon

sohave i made a mistake or found the reason for my problems any advice is much appreciated .

xp standard edition

limewire 4.9.37

thanx david

I have not been able to connect at all. I tried the things that were advised and it has done no good with Windows XP. I am very frustrated!

spcyg2003 please answer the questions re: your setup asked earler in the thread (a page or 2 earlier) or otherwise we can't help you. ie: we don't have a clue what might be your problem!
