Hi jjpoker - please read the sticky threads -- they are the ones at the top of the pages in red -- your problem and answer could be in one of these


If they don't work try this:-

[1] Open windows explorer
select Tools à Folder Options à View à Show hidden files and folders.

[2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder - go here:-
c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\limewire

[3] Ensure that limewire is off - now
Open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file –




now download a new version from (here) it will be named gnutella.net.net
and save it to your desktop

[4] Now drag the new gnutella.net.net file into the limewire folder.

[5] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire – if it still doesn’t connect go back
into the limewire folder and rename the new downloaded gnutella.net.net file to
gnutella.net. (ensure that LW is off before you do this)

[6] Close the LW Folder and start up LW again – hopefully your problem is fixed

Please let us know how you get on
