I am haveing exactly the same problem connecting, I have only one small bar which is green, when I try to search its says limewife is still trying to connect. I am behind a firewall but have allowed Limewire access, I dont know what the problem is but its driving me crazy

I'm having the same problem with limewire myself. Been using it for years now and suddenly my connection does not work but my father's on another computer works beautifully even though we share the same internet connectio (I'm on router, he's direct). I have no problems connecting with any other software other than P2P such as limewire. Azureus works fine.

I'm still waiting for a response to my inquiry.

[nibbleonanaardvark]

Did you ever get a reply to this cos I'm having the same problem

[rickjt62]

So am I .... and I'm just about to give up after three weeks

[nibbleonanaardvark]

I don't know why mine won't connect. My housemate has an older version of limewire and the same antivirus/firewall and he can connect. So i know it isn't the antivirus, firewall or modem causing the problem so what is it!?

[rickjt62]

Well I've just uninstalled (for the tenth time) and re-installed from the Limewire site and it worked first time ..... I've no idea why it's working though!!

hi guys,
I´ve been having the same ******* problems with logging in. and I dont know **** about this. but I tried this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html

I searched my computer to find the gnutella.net file. found it, and deleted it. then I downloaded it from the first link(in the abovementioned link) and put it the same(limewire) folder, from where I deleted the first. and voila: everything works again! very easy!
