[1] You can -- there are 4 foreign language forums -- Deutsh, espanol, Francais, Nederlands -- I see you have already been to this forum (14th Mar 2008) so I can only presume that you mean on this forum -- this is the English forum -- you send it in Netherlands language and it will more than likely be ignored.
[2] In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if yr problem still remains click on (system details) and fill in as much as you can and post back here

2.Norton Internet Security Online 2008 personal Firewire
3.DDDRAMM-007 = DIM PC3200 - 512MB DDR x 2 = 1024MB
4.Available space on C: = 78,1GB
5.Broadband ( ADSL )
6.Alcatel Speed Touch USB-modem
7.Appartment complex
8.LimeWire 4.16.7

Hi Willy, please update your java use this link (java versions) use the offline version -- before you install the latest version ensure that you delete the old version from your add/remove programs -- try that -- if still no connection TRY THIS :-

Delete the LW Preference Folder : In windows XP they can be found here:-
Make sure your Limewire is closed

Preference File in XP SP2
(you must show all hidden files)
[1] Open windows explorer select Tools --> Folder Options --> View --> Show hidden files and folders.
[2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder – go here:-
c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire <--(delete)

(or)
c:\documents and settings\username\limewire <-- (delete)



Now restart your Limewire
