Nice suggestion, however it is all explained on the first page of this thread from 6 years ago. And you don't think this says same thing? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html that's been around for a couple years.

It really depends on whether people are willing to 'search' for answers. That's why we Sticky them at top of each section of the forums. But people are generally lazy, just come here, post their problem & want an instant answer. Forum rules mean little to many members & they see it as a bothersome window to scroll down from to make their first post. lol

Thank you SpecksTX Don't take my comments the wrong way. Thank you for your constructive help.

This solution did not work for me either. I have vista, i tried the solution given i followed everything EXACTLY twice and it still didnt work. I shut down all firewalls and tried all other solutions suggested, still nothing. I have cable internet and i am obvisouly able to be on the internet bt it tells me "network error, there might be a problem with your internet connection" Please Help!

Well there are other solutions suggestions at top of this section. Did you try them yet? And do not forget to look at top of this page to see the forum description.

I tried connecting, but i just recently moved to LW5 from FrostWire, but i had the same issue with FrostWire... I couldn't connect. This all started after my Norton Antivirus subscription was up... can anyone help?!?!?!???

Does your Norton include Norton firewall/security? Some people don't realise their Norton includes a firewall, can you check?
Have a look at top of page for the link on system details.

Ok.. I have LW5.1.2, I am using WinXP, I am not an expert but i have some experience with p2p programs, I have 2 gigs of ram, about 40 gigs of harddrive unused, and the only antivirus/security program i have is Norton Antivirus. My modem is a USB iBurst Wireless interface, and i have never had problems like this before with it.

If completely uninstall Limewire and reinstall will I lose everything I downloaded?

No, everything will remain in your music folder.
