Connection problem, yes I read the threads

[SquirrelKing]

My Limewire wasn't connecting, so I decided to do the solutions in the threads. I get to the one about replacing the gnutella.net file, and I do everything it says, only there's no Limewire folder in my Applications Data folder. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that didn't fix it.

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)

If this fix doesnt work in Limewire Links below click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes.

Thank you.
That seems to have done the trick.

LW is an amazing bit of software but it can be so twitchy at times.
