P.S. I've tried to delete the .limewire folder but it didn't exist. I did find a folder in c:\documents&setting\User_Name\ApplicationData\Lim eWire
and I deleted that folder. After I did that the next time that I set up LW I had resets my preferences/info. Please help me! Thanks

When you delete the prefs folder, all options are reset to default. So, at least we know you deleted that folder properly! You'll have to make sure that you go through LW's options & reset everything (don't forget things like days to keep incomplete files).

Just right click on My Computer > properties > general & you'll see your OS.
Make sure that LW's being allowed through the Windows firewall. More info in the link below.
User Cant Connect - LimeWire

In LW file > disconnect. Wait a few minutes then file > connect.

Did you use the offline installer for your Java? Do you have any other Java versions on your computer? If so, go to add/remove programs & remove other versions.

In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 > apply > ok. You can also try other ports in the range of 49152 - 65535.

AFAIK there's no firewall in your modem, do you have a router as well?

I have xp 2002, no router- just the modem. AND when ever I connect to limewire it starts by trying to locate peers for the itunes thing, it says that it can't find them. Also, when I had to change preferences it doesn't ask my how many days I want incomplete files, it justs asks me what language I want, if I want it to launch on startup, and if I want it to automatically connect. Also, when I get the one bar, and then disconnect, then try to reconnect it freezes. When ever I hit the reconnect it freezes.

1. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools -> Options -> Saving & change days to keep incompletes to 9999.
2. Windows Firewall - LimeWire to configure your XP firewall.
3. Oh! I just realised your are an Insight user. See their listing here ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire as they don't block users immediately from using LW.
4. As for the freezing, I'm not sure. I've seen similar issues for searching peers for iTunes. Go to Tools -> Options -> iTunes -> Sharing & disable iTunes support. You should set LW to connect manually not automatically. Tools -> Options -> Connections & disable. Let LW settle for a few mins before trying to connect via File menu.

I've sent in a message to Telenor in Norway, which is a well-known ISP in Norway, and as soon as I get mail from 'em, I'll post it here, for the Norwegian P2P-users..

Okay, I got a mail from Telenor, and they say that they don't block P2P-trafic, unless they've noticed high trafic from my IP, but if so, they would have noticed me... so, my ISP is not the problem, obviusly...

I've heard of iTunes interfering. Did you disable iTunes sharing in LW & disable sharing option in iTunes?

you know, I think I'm gonna start writing EEEEVERY kind of troubleshooting-points we all make, and make ONE document and post it.. we have sooo many threads and sooo many problems, that we need is one single document that we can search through.. MAN, I'm a genius..:P
