First of all, uninstall both ZA & LW (start > all programs > LW > use the uninstall option there, don't uninstall LW from control panel).

Now reinstall LW & make sure to use the offline installer (when you click to download, cancel the dialog box which pops up & now use the option to download the offline installer).

Once LW's installed, reinstall ZA & make sure that the Windows firewall really is turned off. That's been a fix for some Vista users.

What happens when you do this test http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ ?
Is this your first try with LW?

If reinstalling ZA doesn't help, check out the threads below. The first one's a really old post but a few people have recently found that it's solved their problem;)
For those who can't connect

If that doesn't help, there are other fixes to try in the thread below. Just remember to have LW properly closed before replacing gnutella.net file & deleting preferences folder. Also, when replacing Java versions, remember to have only 1 version of Java installed at a time.
