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At first i thought it was because limewire was out of date and i always check frequently for new updates, as it happens there was.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??

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!!!

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.

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

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

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 ......

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

Submitted a bug report to Gnutella. Hopefully this will help.

Unbelievable, I completely remove LimeWire from my system, restart, run Disk Cleanup, my registry cleaner, and defragmenter, then install the beta and it still is stuck at one out of five connection lights.

Pathetic...

I am getting the same problem of loading international support. I didn't have this problem with the free Limewire, only after I upgraded to pro. I have Vista Ultimate, and Zonealarm. I uninstalled LW, and re-installed it, still the same problem.
