I have had LImewire for a long time and never had any difficulty. I upgraded to the most recent version and now I can't connect at all. I have followed all of the advise about adding/changing ports etc. and nothing has worked. I am an xp user and I use WOW as my ISP. Any suggestions? I have not changed anything on my computer other than upgrading to the newest version of LImewire.

Try Birdies suggestions here. (If LW will not connect)

I have tried all of birdy's suggestions. It has not helped. I have spent about 5 hours now trying all of this and I am very frustrated. It can't be my modem or anything relating to the communication, because my laptop is using the same router, configuration etc. but I have not upgraded to the new Limewire on it and it works fine. There must be something different in the new download that wasn't there before that is causing a problem. I called my ISP and they stated it wasn't an issue with them, that it was an issue with the program. I am using a couple year old Linksys router.

It could be your router. Can you give the Model # of the Linksys Router Please. Also did you try replacing the Gnutella.net File??

I did replace the gnutella.net file. I thought that might fix it because it wasn't there, but it didn't. Linksys wireless G model #wrt54g v.3

I have been having the exact same problem. It also started when I updated. I too did everything suggested, numerous times! I let it go for about 1 month and am now at it again. I have uninstalled and installed JAVA, uninstalled and installed Limewire, replaced the gnutella.net file, etc. etc. etc. Have Windows XP, Linksys wireless G model. Beyond frustration!

@Jmg4991. Have you tried this...Port Forwarding for the Linksys WRT54G



@Leena. What is the Model # of the wireless Linksys

i honestly think that this is a prob with limewire bc everyone is haveing a problem connecting

Had the same problem here. Tried everything, no luck. Until... I dropped back down to version 4.12.6. Everything works great now. Hope it works for you too.

i had the same problem first uninstall limewire delete the whole folder that contains the gunutella.net file go to program files and delete the limewire folder in there then download limewire again BUT>>[Download the offline installer]
