i have looked at the connection problem forums and have done the steps to fix the problem...i have turned off the windows firewall and disabled antivirus and spyware programs....so there should be no reason why it does not connect..but it still shows that there is a firewall...i have used this program before on this same computer with no problems...i reformatted my pc...and now it wont connect.

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 try this link (if LW will not connect) and work yr way through these fixes
