If you bought it less than 6 months ago, you should be able to download another Pro copy, in case you need to reinstall. Otherwise, you can download a free copy of Basic. Always backup your installers.

Have you tried clicking on the 'Limewire executable jar file' in your Limewire folder within program files?

Here are some http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420.

If you need further help, we'll need some more information:

Good Luck

Did you try the suggestions I gave? Have you always had Norton? What version of Norton? Have you tried to connect at different times of day? What model of modem do you have?

Basic Limewire is the free version of Limewire. Pro may be slightly better for some (people with a faster connection).

You said you tried the suggestions. Does that mean that you have uninstalled (use the uninstall feature for LW; don't use add/remove programs) Limewire and Java and reinstalled both? (Directions in link I gave you)

Have you deleted the Limewire preference folder?

Just read a post by UK Bob...he says that NTL is one ISP that doesn't block p2p traffic (as of June 2006...could have changed).

Any luck yet?
