Default Having connection problems all of a sudden? This fix worked for me.

All of a sudden with the latest LW update, I couldn't connect anymore. What's up I ask? Sure enough, I visit this forum and many others are having the same problem all of a sudden. Well, going to the help links came up with a fix.
Go to your C:\Documents and Settings\ "your name" and you will find a folder labeled ".limwire"
Delete the folder. Problem fixed!
This fix is posted by limewire FAQs, that's where I found it and it worked for me.
Hope this helps.

It's a hidden folder. Instructions in this thread points 2 & 3(check both locations): Fixes for Limewire. This will reset all your option settings, so make a note of them first.
