Connection problems
 

Hey,
I'm also having trouble connecting to limewire. I also use Zonealarm firewall however what has me puzzled is that i was using limewire with zonealarm a long time before it stopped working. It was only yesterday when i loaded limewire like normal and the first of 5 bars will light up and always say "you are currently connecting to the network"

At first i thought it was because limewire was out of date and i always check frequently for new updates, as it happens there was.
So today i installed the new update, still not change.

I then decided to reinstall both limewire and zonealarm and it would still not connect.

So my question is. What is the problem and why did it suddenly stop working??:confused:

i'm not even sure why, alli know is that zone alarm is a known problem with limewire and vista. i sent a request to both zone alalrm and limewire tech support asking them how to work around this. when i know more i will post the fix!!!

no connection connected at last
 

i have finally got connected due to deletein evrythin with lime wire in it and reinsatllin then changein the file now it works many thanx

The good news is now LimeWire is partically connecting. It connects enough to display one of five lights lit and show how many files I am sharing. The browser portion works just fine.

I don't get why the browser portion of LW works and the other part doesn't. :confused:

The same thing happened to me. the one bar and all. I did what the other guy above suggested and deleted all of limewire and then reinstalled it. Worked for me ;)

I deleted LimeWire completely from my computer and ran a registry cleaner to make sure it was completely gone. Then I reinstalled the latest version. Unforunately, it didn't work. The bar is completely red, and it currently says "Loading Internationalization Support". This problem is really annoying and I demand to know what Gnutella is doing to fix it.

Fixes I have tried that have failed:

-Deleting LimeWire completely from my computer
-Deleting the preferences folder
-Updating Java (I already had the latest version)
-Changing compatibility to Windows XP
-Changing listening port (froze LimeWire and now it won't close at all)

deleting/replacing gnutella.net

Try this fix for vista
Click on this link (How to Show Hidden Files In Vista)
In vista the Limewire Folder (or Preference Folder) is found here:-
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire

[1] 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)

[2] download a new version from (here) and save it to yr desktop
[3] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder.
[4 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)

save yourselves a lot of trouble and dump limewire .......go to frostwire.com.......I had the same issue tried everything and this was the best fix.....exactly like limewire and you dont lose your music ......:xeri_ok1ani:

Sorry, but FrostWire has the exact same problem. It must have something to do with the Gnutella network.

Connection solution?
 

Can u please explain to this nit-wit what u mean by "changing the file?" What file? Thanks.
