Went through all the things on your list and it appears that it was the deleting and reinstalling the gnutella file that has made it work. I tried the other bits first ie updating Java and resetting preferences and they didn't help.

I now have a turbo charged connection. Shame i have had to pay again for Pro which is a lot annoying but at last it's working. Can't think what would have happened to corrupt the file as it was fine one day and not the next??

Thanks

Well Done -- E N J O Y

How do I find the Gnutella file to delete and reinstall? Please help!

Hi,
Try this:- (you must show all hidden files)
[1] Open windows explorer (windows XP SP2)
select Tools à select Folder Options à select View à select Show hidden files and folders.
[2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder – go here:-
c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire
(or)
c:\documents and settings\username\limewire

[3] Ensure that limewire is completely off (check that it isn't in the system tray-bottom right-if it is click on it and select exit)
now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file (see image below) If you don't find a gnutella.net file dont panic - go to para [4] and cont.


[4] download a new version from (here) and save it to yr desktop
[5] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder.
[6] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire

NOTE: If you are using VISTA you will find the LimeWire folder here:-C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire ß(Preference Folder)
Click on this link (vista - show hidden files)

Let us know how you get on
