Hi Birdy,
I wanted to thank you for your reply and let you know what finally worked for me.

I did all that was suggested including upgrading my version of Limewire, changing the port #'s replacing the gnutella.net file etc etc. Nothing was making a bit of difference.

What I finally did was go back to the windows firewall settings I did have it set to off so I went under advanced settings. Listed there were 3 box's that were checked, One for broadband, local area, and the Internet. I figured well I'm not using the firewall so lets see what happens if I unchecked these box's. The moment I did Limewire connected. I have restarted LW 4 times since and even though the firewall icon is still showing in LW its connecting just fine. "Knocking on wood"
