Know how to view connections , It doesnt even show any attempting to connect, Everything worked fine till 4 or 5 days ago .....and I did not change anything to make it not work .....tried every one of those fix's ........did not work

more than likely you have a corrupt gnutella.net file - see para [2] to find its location -- to ck hover yr cursor over the gnutella.net file -- it shouldnt be smaller than 21.44kbs -- if it is do 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 work click on any of the Limewire Links in my signature and work yr way through them if you havent already
