Default can't connect after re-install

Hi folks. I;m a new user. Happy to be in the forum.

I installed the latest upgrade to my LimeWire pro and it wouldn't connect. I uninstalled it and re-installed a previous version that wroed Tuesday this week. Still no connection. Tghe program starts but won't connect to the networ. I tried deleting and re-adding Limewire as an allowed program in my Norton Internet security and allowed port 6437. Still no connection,
MY ISP is Sympatico -- Bell Canada

My system is a PC clone P3 with lots of memory, no Windows firewall on.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts,

V

wondering why is just really nice
Default

Try deleting your preference folder/s...This will reset your configurations back to default and get rid of any corruption that may of happened...

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...
Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2


Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...
