Hi Guys,

Can someone help me please. I cant connect to LimeWire. I have downloaded the lastest limewire and all I get is one green bar. I have noticed that limewire has detected a firewall, (icon bottom left hand corner of limewire has brick wall in front of it) I have been using Limewire for ages, and just went to use it one day and cant connect. Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this firewall? Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, I have tried looking through the forums and couldnt find anything. Thank you for you help!

Try the fixes in the thread below. If nothing there helps, post back with your system details
If LW Will Not Connect

limewire was unable to initialize and start.this is usually due to a firewall program blocking limewire access to internet or loooback connections on local machine.please allow limewire access to internet & restart.

i have even turn firewall off but it dont help ?
i tried to add limewire as trusted site but it already exist?

what???

What sort of help was that ????????????????/

I am still not getting connected and getting fed up with limewire! I have tried all the things suggested and am about to give up.

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- Try one fix at a time --- do them in
this order: Check your firewall, Delete/Replace gnutella.net File, Delete Limewire's Preference Folder -- if still not working go
back to the top and do the rest of the fixes. NOTE: [1] when you replace the gnutella.net file with a new one check the filesize --
The download size from mediafire (gnutella.net) is 25.37kb -- if smaller download another gnutella.net file. [2] The Preference Folder is another name for Limewire Folder.

if after all of this your problem remains click on (system details) fill in and post back here

If you still want to give up you can always try frostwire or bearshare
