Why ? (won't connect since upgrading to Pro)
 
I had the free version and had no problem connecting but now after buying PRO , one week later it will not connect. It worked great last weekend but not now ! I'm old and not up on all the PC talk so some thing
you say to do , I don't understand . I've turned off my Firewall but it still shows it being on . I made sure Limewire is on my " Allow " list . HELP ! Wish I could talk to some one to walk me through it step by step . I'd
rather have my money back if I can't some help. I also uninstalled and reinstalled it but it still won't connect.

Hi, Sorry for the delay in answering
Try this:- (you must show all hidden files)
[1] Open windows explorer (windows XP SP2) select Tools à select Folder Options à select View à select 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) If you don't find a gnutella.net file dont panic - go to para [4] and cont.

[4] download a new version from (here) and save it to yr desktop
[5] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder.
[6] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire

NOTE: If you are using VISTA click on the link below (how to show hidden files in windows vista) -- also you will find the LimeWire folder here:-
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire

If this doesn't fix yr problem:-
Go to Limewire links (below) click on (if LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if yr problem still remains after this click on (System details) fill in as much as you can and post here
