Had 4.16...did not work. Tried 4.18. Nothing. Windows firewall turned off. Norton removed (old anyhow). Tried the disconnect; wait 5 min and connect again....nothing. Tried the Wiki stuff again. Nothing. Looked at the connections tab...has about 10-12 IPs but none will connect. Is this a problem with LimeWire or is it something else? It would be great if LimeWire would help users by informing about any server issues.

Any help is much appreciated.

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if still no good click on (system details) fill in and post back here

Was it working fine for you 3 days ago as well?

Died on my last night completely, HOWEVER the weird thing is when i log in with different users on my comp it works.

But i tried everything, have the gnutella files, reconnected, turned firewall off, i dont know the issue here.

Try this -- it's worked for some people (http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...n-t-today.html) -- if still not working -- In Limewire Links (below) click on (Fixes for LW when LW isn't operating as it should) and go through these fixes -- if after all this your problem remains click on (system details) fill in and post back here

Searching songs over and over seems like a huge way to fail.

I found out my problem tho, had to delete a certain folder from my drive.

Deleting the prefs folder worked for me, too.

First, I deleted all instances of Limewire. After I thought I had eliminated everything, I did a search (Windows XP) with LimeWire. Found four more files. Deleted them...a complete clean delete. Next, I went and updated to Java 6. Then, I did a complete reinstall of Limewire (4.18.2) and it worked.

Before I had absolutely NO firewalls set and it still showed a block in front of the earth (bottom left of screen) with one bar. Now, it works.

Hopefully it will be this simple for everyone else. Kind of a pain in the *** to go through this goat rope...but maybe it will work for you too.

Good luck.

That worked for me also It seems like if you have one piece of the old limewire
Even if you are doing a upgrade it will not work right
