Default Can't connect - STILL

Trying to connect but get message 'Starting connection' in bottom left off screen. Doesn't ever connect.

Have been on fine but for no reason it stops. Haven't been able to connect for a week. Starting to lose the will with LW, just nothing but problems.

I'm on vista. Have uninstalled LW, uninstalled Firewalls, then re-installed LW etc and no go.

If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Having the same problem. Sometimes, you can click tools and it will connect. Sometimes not. Hope they get it fixed.

Try checking that your router doesn't also have a firewall enabled?

All,
In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and try these fixes -- if that doesnt work try the other links (connection problems) (LW troubleshooting) if still no good -- click on (system details) fill in as much as you can and post back here.

LW links are changed at times to match the current problems.
