Many thanks people oh and by the way i have norton security and vista.

InLimewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- Try one fix at a time --- do them in this order: (i) Check your firewall (ii) Delete/Replace gnutella.net File (iii) Delete Limewire's Preference Folder -- if still not working go back to the top and do the rest of the fixes.
NOTE: [1] when you replace the gnutella.net file with a new one and save it to yr desktop check that the filesize is approx 25kbs or more.(gnutella.net download is 25.37kbs) -- if smaller download another gnutella.net file.
[2] The Preference Folder is another name for Limewire Folder.
if after all of this your problem remains click on (system details) fill in and post back here

I have vista and I can't connect limewire to internet. Today I have contacted with McAfee and they had me reset default and it worked, now I opened up again, no connection. I don't know what to do :(

Did you try resetting your default again

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- Try one fix at a time --- do them in this order:-
1. Check your firewall.
2. Delete/Replace gnutella.net file
3. Delete Preference Folder (otherwise known as the Limewire folder)
4. Update java
5. Change listening port
6. Go through the rest of the fixes.
if after all of this your problem remains click on (system details) fill in and post back here

NOTE: you must show hidden files to find your limewire folder: For Vista users you will find it here:-

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire <--(preference folder)

Hey I have been getting connection problems aswell with limewire, ive had it for over a year on my laptop and all of a sudden its just stopped connecting.

Now when i open Limewire it says No internet connection.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with limewire5 but no good there i deleted my prefferences i acessed the options and disabled Ultrapeer, DHT, TLS and OOB, I also checked my norton fire wall and that has always been allowing limewire to do its work.

im running low on ideas what to do its even been effecting my bitorrent considering they run on the same rules.

Try removing all LW rules from within Norton & then add them from scratch.

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

Have you been through the other fixes in this thread (click on link)?: If LW Will Not Connect

Go & find your gnutella.net file... how big is the file?

Please give us your details: System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

Can't open!!!!
 
I have mac OS 10.4.11. I downloaded a new version of limewire but it won't open or connect. I deleted the old version including the preference setting. I noticed that new version does not install and new preference folder. I am thinking this is the problem. If you think so, how do I restore the preference setting?

I need help.

thanks, tmak

Not opening has nothing to do with Connection problems. I've deleted one of your double-posts already. Please go back & read the forum rules before you feel the 'boot'.

tmak February 2nd, 2009 07:02 PM

I reread the rules. I don't understand what you mean.

It is not a connection problem. I have tried opening limewire in different places and connections setting. My connection is cable.
It is not firewall problem.
I am in USA. ISP charter communications.

I would really appreciate it if someone can help.

thanks
