I have recently been having problems with my lime wire showing that there is a firewall blocking my limewire. I went to windows firewall and made sure that limewire was an exception and it was. I have MacAfee Security and removed my firewall and it still shows the firewall and won't connect. I am perplexed. Can anyone help? I have LimeWire Pro 4.16. I have Windows XP Media edition. I use Timewarner Broadband Cable,

For what it's worth, I'm having exactly the same problem ever since I updated to the NEW Limewire yesterday. Before worked perfectly. And I've done exactly what Ronnie60 has already done. What's up with this?

I'm not exactly sure if this will work for the new version.. I still have 4.15.0 and i was having the same problem. To fix it i had to redownload gnutella and just save it in my limewire folder. once i did that it connected no problem. good luck

thats what happened to me!!! I tried everything to fix it nothing worked...i finally fixed my problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the old version. you can find the old version at filehippo.com - Download Free Software

Hmmm, I only see the newest version there [4.16.6]. That's when my problems started.

when you go to filehippo.com click on limewire 4.16 under file sharing. after that it'll take you to another page. the right side of that page has all the limewire versions listed.

Ok, thanks. I'll give'er a go!

Ronnie60/doctor of oldies,

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes - if they dont work pse click on (system details) and fill in as much as you can and post back here
