I am having the same connection problems. I used to be able to connect with no problems. I went throught all the trouble shooting threads but still can't connect.os windows XP Norton ram is 512 mbbroadband connecting from homeISP is HTCtried the test and it did workUSAPlease help....

Same problem here. Can't connect after upgrading. Have always been able to get on before upgrading to this version. I have ZoneAlarm and it is configured to allow Limewire through. Windows XP, 1 gig of ram. It continually says "you are currently connecting to the network". It doesn't change. Nothing has changed on my computer except for upgrading the software.

***EDIT***

I fixed my problem by deleting my preferences folder '.limewire' and then resetting my preferences. Hope this helps.

WHere is the preference folder at?

Ummm - what preference folder?

Ensure that Limewire is closed before doing this.
Preference Folder for XP are found here:-
c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire <-- [delete]
(or)
c:\documents and settings\username\limewire <-- [delete]

Application Data's hidden by default, so you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files & folders to be able to see it (control panel - Tools - folder options - view - check the radio button to show hidden files & folders - apply - Ok)

For Vista the Preference Folder is found here :-
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire <--(Preference Folder)

Go to this link (How to show hidden files in Vista)
Once you have done this restart Limewire
