Stupid!!! What the hell is wrong with this program?? I have spent an hour or more, and still no green light?!?!?!? The Lime has soured and I'm outa here...peace!

I tried disabling tool tips and clearing out the directory. I enabled the Exception for Windows Firewall (my only one) and it still says that I'm firewalled. I also tried getting the JRE solution and it still says that I'm ****ing firewalled! I'm honestly about to leave LimeWire. I couldn't connect to that "Your test worked!" page. It's supposed to be testing if your ISP blocked the port right? Well it's not my school network, my roomate can connect fine. It should work because I allowed the exception in Window's firewall. It still says that I am blocked.

What the hell is going on? PLEASE HELP!!!

There's no fixing this. I did a complete uninstall and reinstall and it's still not working. A quick answer would be preferable.

ok so i tried everything that was suggested for me to do and i still can't get my songs to connect to download. although i am connected to limewire, when i attempt to download something it will say connecting... for a while then it will go to more sources needed... this is very frustrating, i've never had any trouble w/limewire before. i have also disabled my firewalls and it still shows that i have a firewall up. i also did the test and it said that it was successful. if anyone knows anything else that may help, please help. oh yeah, i also have two other computers in the same household and they work perfectly fine. i would greatly appreciate anymore help that i can get. thanks

I dont want to post someting that has already been posted but I don think I can read anymore. I have Vista and ive done everything I can. I can NOT find this mysterious "pref file." I can't even find a documents and settings (i guess its a little diff with vista?) Nothing I do works...nothing. Is it becasue I have zonealarm or is Vista not compatible? Ive had limewire before and Ive never had a problem....but now.....Im thinking of just giving up....


If you cant help me, do you know of another program I could use?

lexy1650,
Try this fix first...It sounds a little wierd but it really does work...

If that doesn't work, this is where you will find the preference folder in vista...

And the instructions on how to delete it once found...
Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should

Ok, I have installed for the moment LW 4.8 because right now LW 5 is not working for me.

Anyway, I have tried to delete the .limewire folder and uncheck the auto-connect feature when limewire starts. All following the instructions in this forum. It just says "Connecting", stays this way for hours but it doesn't connect.

I tried opening the port that it uses: 6346. I quit LW, restart it and it still does not connect.

Any other suggestions? Thank you very much. I'm using windows Vista.

Hi,
Try these fixes please (If LW 4 will not connect) do them in this order:-
[1] check your firewall
[2] delete/replace gnutella.net File
[3] delete limewire's preferences folder (another name for Limewire foler)
if still not working go back to the top and do the remainder of the fixes
Please let us know how you get on

LW links are changed at times to match the current problems.

As with other users, I have tried the fix and it does not work. I can not connect.

I did the following:

shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running,
delete the whole directory,
and then restart LimeWire.

But I can not connect.

Thanks.

It worked for me, using XP.
Thanks for the help

I have the same problem as everyone else, only I'm using windows me and not xp. When I go to my computer and click on C: there is no icon that says documents and settings. Also I don't remember my user name. Anyone??????????? thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
