Try this:- (you must show all hidden files)
[1] Open windows explorer
select Tools à Folder Options à View à Show hidden files and folders.
[2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder – go here:-
c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire
(or)
c:\documents and settings\username\limewire

[3] Ensure that limewire is completely off (check that it isn't in the system tray-bottom right-if it is click on it and select exit)
now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file (see image below)

[4] download a new version from (here) and save it to yr desktop
[4] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder.
[5] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire - hopefully your problem is fixed - if you still have a problem pse read the sticky threads at the top of page 1 (If LW will not connect) and work your way through these fixes.

i'm using XP and it didnt work for me :(

Thanks Skyliner, Lawanda, and to all that has contributed to this forum. These instructions worked perfectly for me and now I'm no longer behind Windows firewall and I'm actuallly in the P2P mode, again thanks one and all 2Eazee

Why should we have to fix these things in our LW programs. Is this not the job of the Software Developers. I am an avid programmer and this program really isn't the best designed program out there. I don't mean to bash LW. But c'mon. I recently upgraded to the Pro package($40.00) 2 weeks ago. Since then and downloading the new version I have been unable to connect...Not very happy. I have tried everything possible on these Forums and I still have nothing. BareShare and Morpheous connect up, search, and download for me. But they want a license(BareShare), or redirect me to a site(Morphous). I've been using LW for a really long time. I would really hate to get rid of it. Oh by the way I did this delete .limewire. and it didnt work. Don't ask if I had it running in the system's tray... I am not retarded. Here's the fix were all gonna have to start paying to download from iTunes.

Hail skyliner....FINALLY a solution!! Have tried everything under the sun. Replacing the gnutella.net file worked.

I'm on Limewire Pro and all of a sudden I can't connect. All I get is the message "starting connection". I've tried deleting the .limewire file from my C drive and I've upgraded Java from 6 to 7 but 6 was working fine until 8/1/08. Somebody help me!

My Limewire Is Stubborn
 

So i have:

• Windows XP (home edition)
• I have regular Windows Security...but my dad installed MacAfee onto it, and i just uninstalled it.
• Ram i have lots of
• Disk space i have: 108,943K free
• Connection Type is: NetGear Wireless...but the rest of my family has cable and together we have WOWWAY
• I go tno idea what my router number/name is
• My limewire is on my home computer at my house.
• i have the 4.16 LImewire and the 6.3 Java (or somethin like that)
• My ISP is probably either Wowway
• My test says it works.
• My wireless is connected to a NetGear in the basement which together is shared by all computers...but im the only one w/ wireless.
• Ive been using Limewire for a long long time. My computer crashed so i had to restart it and then i downloaded Limewire again. But this time it wont connect at all.
• There is a brick wall infront of the globe, but i turned off my limewire and i added limewire to the exceptions...along with adding the incoming and outgoing ports.
• I do have UPnP enabled.
• MacAfee is my security and yes i have antivirus.
• Im from the good old USA...michigan

But yeah all the solutions i have done which i saw has still not changed my service...and im not getting anything.

have a look at #1388 of this thread (delete/replace gnutella.net file) and try this -- it's worked for some people -- otherwise read the sticky threads at the top of page 1 and work yr way through these fixes - if problem persists pse post yr system details here
