I Have Used Limewire For Over 4 Years. All The Sudden, When I Hit Search, I Get No Results. Using Windows Xp, Have Made All The Exceptions, Done The Firewall Thing Etc Etc. Nothing Is Working. Any Ideas?

is it with any search ( like did you try seeing "what new") or is it something more refined?

with any search not one thing goes thru because it constantly says "you are connecting to the network", but won't connect. only one bar turns green.....

i'm having the exact same problem!!! i can't figure it out. help us someone...

I'm having the same trouble. Last week I waited it out and after about 1/2 hour was finally able to get on. Tonight I've been waiting several hours and it won't move past the first bar. I'm using vista.

I purchased limewire a few years ago but recently had a hard drive crash. Since I reinstalled I cannot connect either. I spent almost 4 hours on the phone with my ISP adding limewire to a safe list and opening the ports to send and receive. Still no luck connecting. I am only trying to run basic at the present time and it shows in my ISP as connected but I continue to get the message limewire is connecting to the network. No bars, no nothing. I don't get it? Any suggestions? Even my ISP can't understand WHY I get no connection.

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?
