Okay, need a little more help. Where or what should I be looking for? I've ran a search for "limewire" and "gnutella." What else should I do?

I've even tried downloading an older version (4.16.6). My friend uses that with no problems. I'm getting incredibly fed up. It's not like I can even try a different program. They all run on the same network and none of them work. Frostwire, MP3 Rocket, they all fail to connect.

Hi, I always have the 'starting connection' sign but it wont connect. It used to but for some reason in the last month it has stopped. I have since purchased limewire pro but it is still happening. This sounds really stupid but how do you delete a directory?

My simple fix for the Connection prolem
 
After reviewing all the posted threads, I tried a fix slightly simpler than Limewacko's suggestion (Limewacko - thank you for putting me in the right direction).

Simply go to the Files tab, then click on disconnect. Wait a few seconds and click on the connect, no need to shut LW down. My connection was back up and working immediately.:)

First, the "delete-the-pref-folder" advice did nothing for me.

Steps:

1) Launch Limewire. See the new "Tips" dialog box? DISABLE the show-tips-at-launch checkbox. Then click "ok" and hope you never see that box again.

2) Go to LimeWire Preferences and disable the auto-connect at launch option.

3) Quit Limewire. Then relaunch Limewire. Then manually "connect" from the menu. Voila!

I surmise that the new Tips box is interfering with the application's ability to connect!

106 pages! Wheww. Wanted to thank you for the suggestion all the way back on the first page. Finally fixed Limewire after a few days of searching for help.

Deleted the .limewire folder as suggested, restarted Limewire and all is well!

Thanks

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if still no good click on (system details) fill in and post back here

Additional suggestions
 
I had tried all the other suggestions before manually disconnecting, then reconnecting. Using Windows Explorer, located the directory (I believe it is in the folder Documents and Settings/USer/limewire - check suggestion in other threads as to the excact location). Left click on the folder once to highlight it, then right click once to open an options window. The delete command is near the bottom.

Also, someone had posted a suggestion to add two site addresses and ports. You should be able to add these addresses via the Connection Tab, use the 'add' button at the bottom.

Lastly, you may want to shut LW down and restart it before trying the Disconnect/Connect suggestion.
