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. |

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
