I have XP Pro, ZoneAlarm, and Nortons Anti-virus.....I've never had problems connecting before when I redid my system....But this time I can't connect.....I did as you said, I opened the LimeWire Folder and there was no gunetell.net file there...I downloaded the new file placed it into the LimeWire file....Still nothing....Renamed it...Still nothing....Any more suggestions???

i agree i tried several times and it still says connecting but never connects, i also turned off all of my firewalls and it is still detecting one. HOW DO I GET MY MONEY BACK???THIS IS TOTAL BS SELLING SOMETHING THAT WILL NOT WORK OUT OF THE DAMN BOX!!!!! BSBSBSBSBSBS!!!

My appologies to everyone , i posted and closed out the Forum and click it connects. I AM SORRRRRRRRRRRY AND THANKYOU VERY MUCH PEOPLE!!!!
any ideas how to get rid of Trojan.zlob.X-a by any chance

My husband just informed me he did everything with the router as well...So I guess we've done everything suggested here....Now what???

I did go through all those steps as well....Seems I've done everything that's been suggested here....

I'm really going through LimeWire withdrawals here......I don't know what else to do.......

I've got 1 gig of memory...a 80 and a 200 gig hard drive....XP PRO...Nortons antivirus and ZoneAlarm....I've got XP firewall turned off....When I redo my system I zero it out to factory settings and start from scratch.....

I redo my system about every 6 months, so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing...LimeWire has always started before.....I know it's LimeWire, because I redid it once...put in LimeWire and nothing else....no updates no programs....Even turned off the firewall...and still nothing...HELP

lanita -- I see you have tried most things what about this --

uninstall JRE-6 (java script) and download the older version – JRE-5 from here:- (I had this problem 3 mths ago and it worked ).

I did what you said....uninstalled the new version of java and unistall LimeWire and I put in the old one...And reinstalled LimeWire~sighs~......I even went into the regedit to make sure everything was gone....no luck

lanita - when you uninstalled limewire did you also delete the limewire
folder from the programs before you downloaded the new limewire version.

Did you do it like this :-

[1] Uninstall the old version before installing the new

v Uninstall Limewire by using LW uninstall program not the add/remove control panel

Start -> All Programs -> Limewire -> Uninstall

[2] Delete the old LW folders from the Programs directory before installing the new
version

v c:\Program Files\Limewire <--- (delete this folder)

[3] Download/Install new version of LW

[4] If you are using JRE-6 (java script) and still have problems download
the older version – JRE-5 from here:- (uninstall JRE-6 first)

If you did it like this then the only other problem I could see and have
experienced was the deleting of the gnutella.net file --
downloading a new gnutella.net.net file and rename it to gnutella.net --
as mentioned in earlier threads --

no i didn't....i deleted it from the add/remove programs....doing it now.....

Hi lanita sorry for the delay in answering but I had to go to work-- well lets take a step back and have look at what you have done.[1] you say that your firewall/antivirus/router all check out ok.[2] you have connected ok in the past but not since redoing your system up[3] you have read all the sticky threads and followed them correctly. [4] I have given you all the fixes I know for limewire so something is not right. I'm beginning to think that it's not a limewire problem but a firewall/antivirus settings problem - please read this and check your norton settings -- go to the sticky thread (top of page 1) : Connection Problems LOOK here before Posting select:- Finally solved my connection problem Configuring Norton Internet Security Let us know how you get on
