Exclamation Can't connect to limewire

Hello,
I have been using limewire for a long time now. All of a sudden a few days ago it wont connect. It will keep saying connecting, but it never will. I turned off my firewalls. I made sure limewire was added to my allow program list.
I even installed it on my other computer to see if it was just this one. I can't connect anymore. Please help
Thanks

Make sure that you're only using 1 software firewall (more than 1 will cause problems) & that LW's being allowed through it.

Try the advice here: all of a sudden will not connect (a fix to try)
Start off by deleting LW's preferences folder & changing Java versions.
You'll know if you've deleted the preferences folder properly...when you start LW, you'll go through the setup wizard again & all the settings within LW's options will have changed.
If you get confused with deleting the preferences folder, have a look at this post (Windows XP).
One bar, connection problems

In case you're using Vista: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

If nothing there helps, please give us your details.
