oh, and also: i can't find my limewire preference folder by any means whatsoever, but it's still there somehow, because i've searched all my files and such for it, but when i reinstall limewire the preferences are already set to how they were.

Did you check to see if yr college network has blocked P2P tfc - in the meantime
Try this:- (you must show all hidden files)
[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 it isn't in the system tray-bottom right-if it is click on it and select exit)
now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file (see image below)


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

if this doesnt fix yr problem ck out the Limewire Links (If Lw will not connect) (connection problems) (connection troubleshooting)

Thanks for trying, but i've tried just about everything, it must be blocked by my network. i've given up
