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!

It works!

Running Windows XP (Pro)
Limewire Version 3.6.15 (Basic)

Basically what I did was:

1) Exited Limewire, and then closed down its icon in the bottom-right task bar.

2) Opened My Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\(*username's folder here; NOT the one that says All Users*)\

3) Deleted the .limewire folder

4) Reopened the Limewire application, and ya know what, I could not be more glad to see that green light once more!

THanks you Sdaswani

Do I have to do this every time?

So this worked the first time ... deleting the old file and starting manually. However, after you open it, I am having the same problem every time, every day ... there has to be something easier to do? Any sugguestions?

Fix does not work]

As with other users, I have tried the fix and it does not work. I can not connect.

I did the following:

shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running,
delete the whole directory,
and then restart LimeWire.

But I can not connect.

Thanks.

Progress?

It would be nice if the people at Gnutella could let us know if there is any progress being made in fixing the connection problems with Limewire. Otherwise, I can go about deleting Limewire from my computer and forgetting about it forever...
