Lol, I'm in NC too by the way. Greenville. But back on subject, I had trouble with this too, but with me it was because my Norton Internet security's firewall was blocking Limewire from being able to connect. I even had limewire on the list of things it was supposed to connect to. I eventually just had to turn off the firewall and keep it off. Turn off your firewall and see if that helps. Oh, and make sure you have an internet connection.

Talverson, It's VERY RISKY turning off your Firewall. I also have NIS2007 and have never had a problem. Just make sure you are giving Limewire Full Access. Also check your Windows Firewall. Turn it off if it's on. Running more than 1 Firewall will cause more problems as they will conflict with each other.

This a Large sub forum but there are so many variables, would probably be best to browse through to get some ideas. Connection Problems

Also might try these fixes.

If LW Will Not Connect

Hope this helps.
