Have you tried all the fixes in (If LW will not connect) replacing/deleting the gnutella.net file, deleting the preference (limewire) folder -- also pse click on and peruse the otherlinks in Limewire Links (below) -- I also asked for your system details

You should have posted this query onto yr original thread (cant connect)instead of tagging it onto someone elses -- pse in future if you have a problem just click on new thread and post. and if yr problem continues just keep posting into the same thread -- this will benefit everybody concerned -- Okay -- did you try all the fixes in (If LW will not connect) like I told you -- if not pse do -- I also asked for yr system details -- click on the link below (system details) fill in and post back here
