delete the folder ".limewire" preference folder
uninstall limewire
unistall java
reinstall java, the offline installer
reinstall limewire

none of this worked for me guys.
could anybody come up with something different?
ive seen the same answer on every thread.
instead of wasting time doing this, i guess one would be better off reinstalling windows. cuz i think it takes the same amount of time.
Try posting more specific info on setup first. Please try to answer all the questions. Sorry for any repeat questions. Just copy paste this + your answers into a reply


1. What's your connection like - do you have any green bars at all?
Is there a brick wall in front of world ?

2. Do this test & see if it works. What does it say ?
http://www3.limewire.com:6346

3. What are your details

OS ? (Win XP, Mac OSX etc.)
How much free harddiskspace ?
How much RAM ?
LW & Java version ? (In Limewire press Help>about LW & you'll see)
What Firewall you're using ?
What Antivirus/spyware etc. ?
Modem/router brand & model ?
Are you using portforwarding, UPnP or nothing ? (Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config)
What is your listening port ? (Same as above)
ISP (Internet Service Provider) ?
Connection type ? (Dial-Up, ADSL, DSL etc) + Speed Up/Down if you know
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Has Limewire ever worked for you ? If so how long have you been using it ?

Have you tried using any other P2P apps & if so, do you have the same or similar problems ?

Describe the problem thoroughly.
