My issue was that previously for years I had been able to connect with no problems whatsoever, but then one day, the following problem started. Every time I started limewire, I would only get to one bar of connection, that tiny insignificant even difficult to call a connection bar bar.
This has been driving me nuts as limewire has been unavailable to me, and as you all know, this is a HUGE nuisance.
THANK YOU, for the problem I outlined above, this solution of deleting the .limewire folder in your profile folder really does the trick. Loosing one's settings is a very small price to pay for getting the connection functionality back, and now that this is a working solution, I'm sure that playing around with various things in the folder one can actually resolve this issue and then keep one's settings.
If you have Norton's god help you, 10 to 1 that's the cause of your woe.

I don't think it's advisable for you to Mis Lead members about Norton, especially when you can't even figure out how to connect to LW.

I've used Norton for many years and have Never had an issue.

There was a time that my son couldn't connect to the Gnutella Network and he deleted the Pref Folder and that fixed the problem.

Had Nothing to do with Norton. I've also yet to get Infected as long as we've used Norton, and thats been over five years.

Kudos to your son who was able to fix the issue! I just get too busy with work to futz around with LW, I have clients to attend to.
If you ever get tired of paying a fee for Norton, try AVG, it's entirely free for home users and does a better job of protecting your system than Norton without the undue interference.
Incidentally, LW lists Norton as being a rather well-known problem when it comes to connection issues.
