I guess it's nice not to be alone, but what the heck are we suppose to do? I have tried EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING to fix this to no avail.

I tried again to log on this morning and just decided to wait it out. After about 2 hours all of the bars were green and the firewall turned off. I'm trying to find specific tunes so I think I will leave it on. Still don't know why it takes so long to log on. It didn't used to. Now that it is on, it's still the same great program.

Limewire AND Frostwire are not connecting. I have limewire and frostwire. It's not my pc cause it's got all the bells and whistles of an up to date, Vista with wifi. I thought it was the wifi service finally caught up, but seeing that this problem is RAMPENT I'm not so sure it's the server I have. This truely does suck! HELP!! Aside from hotmail and messangers with file sharing, this is the only means I have of sharing my files with my friends who are way too far away to visit in person or send snail mail to.

Newbie to the board, but not the net...

All people in this thread...try the fixes below (click on the blue link).
Including updateing/rolling back Java, deleting preferences folder & replacing gnutella.net file. Remember to only have 1 Java version installed at a time.
If LW Will Not Connect

If you're sure that you've done all of those things correctly (with LW properly closed & restart afterwards), try the fixes below. The post's really old but a couple of people have recently found that it's fixed their problem.
For those who can't connect

Frostwire users: Even though the fixes refer to LW, it's all the same for FW.

If nothing there helps, pleeeease post your system details. Otherwise, how can we help you if we don't know anything about your setup? You'll find a link to system details in the 'will not connect' thread...that explains which details we need.

Ladychud,
Even though you can connect sometimes, if you give us your details then we might be able to help with that.

Atlantic78,
When you post your details, could you also list all of the fixes that you've tried so far?

I'm gonna print out the bugger you linked to us. I was getting frigging overwhelmed and confused just trying to figure out what to do on the Connection Problems thread.

I hope it really works cause this is just fragging me of something fierce!!

Ok but don't get the sh_its with us, because we're just trying to help

OH now, it's just prolonged frustration. I'm sure you understand. Move of my comments carry a lot of sarcasm, so if I offend...my bad

IT WORKED, ...........SOOOOO HAPPY. FOR ME IT WAS THE JAVA. KICK A** AND THANKS SO MUCH

I just tried the second "help" link to no success. I even tried until 4:30 in the morning messing with limewire, following your guy's ideas and suggestions and changed ports, proxy's and sock a few times.

Any other ideas?? Is there a way to check what the server/provider is without doing any asking? I mean, if I go to the tech support here at the college...they might start wondering why. *sigh* I'm exhausted.
