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.) or for VISTA see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

If you started using LW after March 2006 then the preferences folder will be called Limewire, _ not .limewire

The versions of LW before 4.10 had their preferences folder called .limewire & those users who updated would still have the folder with same name unless they deleted their preferences folder at some point after this.

sdaswani I don't know if you're still around, but I could just hug you right now.

You have just given me a fix to my limewire in 20 seconds that 3 hours of probing around in deep firewall/ports/technical crap couldn't.

Thank you so much.

After you deleted the folder, did you have to go through LW's setup wizard again?
