![]() Hello---I'm Morty326 and I have been using limewire for 2.5 years and never had issues with connecting. I have the latest versions of java, limewire, and my OS is Vista. Just today, 3-10, I cannot establish a connection. PLEASE, PLEASE help. Is the network itself down? I have ALWAYS been able to connect until now. I even Uninstalled completely and reinstalled and still having connection issues. I'm running McAfee and haven't changed that in some time. Limewire WILL load and it even shows my files but the connection just sits in a lag state. |

![]() Is there a Brickwall in front of the Blue Globe?? Has anything changed with your ISP?? Could possibly be a Modem/Router issue. There was a huge problem with Vista + Mcafee + Limewire several months ago. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...-solution.html May need to post your system details.
