After you deleted LW's preferences folder & restarted LW, did you have to go through the setup wizard again?

Go & find your gnutella.net file... hover your cursor over the file. How big is it?

Man I have tried just about everythng. I even uninstalled Norton 360 and installed Avast. Uninstalled LW, disabled the dvanced options in LW. I am bout ready to give up. What keeps me going is it's probab;y something simple. Soooo frustrating. It worked just a few days ago. It worked 1 day then it didn't then it did, now nothing!

I hate to sound stupid are you talking in advance section in limewire? I have clicked on If LW Will Not Connect I don't know how many times. I have not found a fix yet. Some things are just not making sense

This link is taken from the help thread (click on this link): LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

Close LW completely & then follow those directions to find your preferences folder (which is named LimeWire). Delete that folder, then restart LW & see if it connects.

If it doesn't connect, go back & find the folder named LimeWire (you just deleted it but now there'll be a new one). Open that folder. Inside it will be a file named gnutella.net. That's the file that the original help thread If LW Will Not Connect tells you to replace. The help thread has links for downloading a new gnutella.net file.
Close LW completely before you replace the gnutella.net file.
