Gnutella Forums - For those who can't connect

For those who are having trouble connection to the Gnutella network using LimeWire, we have a potential fix. You need to delete your WHOLE LimeWire preferences directory. The directory can be found in the following locations:

OS X:
/Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Linux:
~/.limewire

Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, delete the whole directory, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect.

I'd love to hear how this works for everyone.

Thanks!

I believe it is yes. If LW was not compatible you wouldn't even be able to open the program. If you can't connect then it must be a different reason. What we need to help you is this: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) :) (we can't help without those details.) ;)

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

I tried the fix and it didn't work. It just re-makes the folder when you restart LimeWire. I cannot get a connection at all. I disabled the firewall and still have had no luck.
