So the aggravation ontinues
Thank you Digdeep for the update on the download location, but that didnt work either.
I agree with qbyogirl...... let's go Limewire... find a solution... really frustrating!!!
we're all hanging on waiting for some help:!

try to rename downloaded gnutella.net.net to gnutella.net

and than copy it there!remember to delete original gnutella.net file!
the limewire must be off !
than start it and wait a sec or two so it can connect!

if that doesnot work try to delete gnutella.net and than start limewire!

make shore that your firewall allows limewire to connect!

maybe you have more than one firewall!
I dont know but it worked for me! and now I have turbo connection!

or you try to download different vesion!

digdeep - your fix enabled me to reconnect to LW once again -- (see my signature for my system/LW version) for the past 4 months I've had no problems and I noticed yesterday that I couldn't connect to LW -- so I deleted my gnutella.net file from my Limewire folder -- downloaded a new copy of gnutella.net.net from your link and pasted it to the LW folder -- restarted my LW 4.14.5 Pro but still no connection -- so I did what you said and renamed the gnutella.net.net to gnutella.net -- restarted my LW and up it came straightaway with an excellent connection -- I Hope this helps others out there who are having connection problems Once again thanx

Yes! It finally works!! I've been using the old Frostwire version for about a year just fine and just recently downloaded the new version of Limewire. It was working slow and kinda weird, then suddenly I got that same darn message "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network." I did EVERYTHING there had to do with the firewall.... until I did the gnutella.net recommended by digdeep and followed skyliner's way above... which worked! I also removed the old Frostwire version at that time, then restarted my computer. When I restarted, it kicked in. Thanks so much!

you did not have to restart cpu just limewire

i tried several times , and did not work, until i renamed gnuttela .net.net to gnutella.net and erased previuos , and now works turbo!!\

remeber to close limewire before in order to work,

where do i make this change at?

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
