![]() I downloaded Eclipse, went through all the BS to set that up, then import the source code, then run Limewire Basic (which also wouldn't connect), I have no idea what is going on with Gnutella.net, but I freakin' give up. I'll find some other way to download songs. This blows. |

![]() don't know about present day, but Comcast was at one time blocking p2p traffic.. try out Phex and see if that connects for you...or BearShare expired beta....

![]() Whilst I do not recommend doing this for long, did you try turning your software firewalls off to see if that made a difference? There are different gnutella.net files around If LW 4 Will Not Connect (click on the blue link) & I supplied another here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/343558-post10.html But as Peerless suggested, Phex is fantastic. And the BearShare Beta is the best of Bearshare. |

![]() Listen to Lord of the Rings, replace your gnutella.net file (because it's not deleted in most normal uninstalls) and I had lots of trouble until I replaced that file. (look at some of my more recent forum entries to find out how and where to replace it) LOR is pretty smart, and if he says to replace the gnutella.net file that is what you should do. The firewall picture is normal (it justs means that limewire has detected that you have one, it does not necessarily mean it is working at excluding you from downloading files) |

![]() Deleting the gnutella.net file was most of the time the solution that fixed it for me especially after an install of a different Limewire version. Under Vista, the file is located under the folder <UrAccountName>\.limewire. Exit from Limewire first and delete that file. You don't even need to replace the file as it seems to re-create itself the next time you connect to the network. |
