If you are having trouble connecting, Follow the Directions to the letter and you will connect I was having trouble for a while, played with every port that they say and no connection. found this little fix to remove that folder and B I N G O connection. but make sure you are exactly where it says. Thanks so much for this fix

>>If you are having trouble connecting, Follow the Directions to the letter<<

Follow what directions??? I see no directions, and if I do, its all about xp, which I don't have. I have ME, but I'm sure its not much different. And for the love of God, where do I go to disable the firewall? I have no idea why I can't get connected and it's very frustrating. I have the newest Java because I just downloaded it yesterday.

Ranana I have no idea whether this will lead to some hints (I'm a mac person sorry), but I've a few links related to Win ME: Link 1 , & Link 2 , & Link 3 , & lastly Link 4. This is obviously not my area, but there might be some points there. There's also a forum/2 you can post about such things specific to Win ME. Just a thought. But then, does win me have its own firewall? I suspect it's the firewall brand/router brand that you might need to be having a look at. See pointers about this at bottom of the following page http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml or search the forum for firewall/router.

Ok, so i have windows xp. And i downloaded LimeWire yesterday and it was fine and i downloaded alot of songs.But today when i wanted to download more songs... it said i was "disconnected" and it told me to go to file and click "connect" well i've done that like a billion times and its not working. HELP!!

how did you try to continue the dwnlds? If you used the Resume button, it 'will' have a draining effect upon your connection energy if there's many of them. It's best to re-search manually for the sources as 1st choice.

I just downloaded limewire four days ago and have never been able to connect. I cannot connect to any other download program either. It says that I have a firewall problem. I have tried to put limewire on the exceptions list for firewalls and I put the port UDP and TCP 6346 port on there also as an exception. I am running the new service pack from microsoft and windows xp. I always get a message that a firewall is blocking my access. What else am I supposed to do? I really want this program to work.
PLEASE HELP!

I downloaded Limewire last night and I still haven't been able to connect all day/night. I have tried the suggestions on here and so far nothing has worked...I have Windows Xp (Home Edition). Please, help me!

I've been using limewire for almost a year, and I haven't had any problems until a few days ago. I simply cannot connect!! I have a MAC OSX with Limewire version 4.0.8. I open the program and it just has the status of "connecting" but never connects. I've never had any trouble before this just happened all of a sudden. Firewalls and all prefs are the same as they have always been when I was able to connect before. Please help!!

I tried to do as suggested and can't get it to work. How do can I find the Preferences and disable the auto-connect at lauch option? I can't seem to find it.

Gedy the option is under Tools-Options & connections & untick the Connect on Startup option box (osx: that's LW prefs & connections.) This does tend to depend upon yur type of connection. Dial-up users this obviously doesn't apply (or shouldn't.)
