RDP - I don't know what OS you are using but this works on windows XP home edition SP2

[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 from your desktop 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
