If you have multi entries under java - pse delete the lot and reinstall
the latest version and start LW
I've done that, and the problem still continues.

Ok pse try this:- You must show all hidden files like so:-
[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
(or)
c:\documents and settings\username\limewire
[3] Ensure that limewire is completely off - (check that the LW icon is not in the system tray at bottom right-if so click on it and exit)
now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file



[4] Now download a new version of (gnutella.net)and save it to your desktop -
[5] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder.
[6] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire

If still no good pse read the sticky threads at the top of page 1 -- these are working aids/guides to help you re-connect

Still nothing is working.
I tried that earlier nothing seems to be working.
I've gone through the sticky thread and I've done everything that is listed for connection problems.

I see you have connected with LW before so I can only presume that yr firewall and router allow LW -- pse try this link (connection troubleshooting)

It was working about 45 minutes ago.
I had to get off for dinner and now it isn't working.
The connections are 'connecting' which is what they weren't doing in the past.
I'll just give it a for more minutes and see if it will start up again.
