Post here if you have/haven't had the message: "Limewire is currently connecting..."
 

It seems that everybody is having this problem! Before you make a search it says: "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network" If you could take the time to post whether you have received the message or not, we could figure out if Limewire is the problem, not our computers! Thank you!

I Have NEVER had a connection problem.
Suggestion: READ!!!!! I know your a n00b, so take some time to Read the different threads in this Forum. I will almost Guarantee you that the Problem you are having has been discused umm.. a thousand times or so.

These things that say Sticky at the beginning of each sub forum are Loaded Full of Info. If your not willing to help your self then I'm guessing that Most Mods. Super Mods. and Admin. Will probably feel the same way.

Limewire hangs connecting to network
 

I decided to upgrade to limewire pro today, that's when it started. I even
tried removing it and reinstalling the free version and the same occurs.
I've even tried to run it on my second OS, XP SP2 Home on both partitions. Same problem. It must be a server issue with limewire or gnutella ? There's nothing on Limewire's website to indicate trouble, and I assume because these posts aren't flooded, many users can still connect.
What's up ????

Connection problems
 

I have the same problem. Program says "connectiong to the network, but never does. I even turned off the firewall and it still doesn't connect. My other pc has the same problem and the firewall was off too.

Me too, what's up? I don't really know alot computers so this is driving me crazy!

found a fix on another thread
 

i replaced my gnutella.net file with another one listed on this site. it works fine now.:super:

can you tell me how to make my connection work, please? i just installed it and it keeps telling me that it is still connecting to the thing and the search results might be low. it has been saying that for three days now and i have tried everything else.

I Need Help!!
 

I too am having problems & i've used system in past,but now it does nothing.Can someone please give a solution to the problem.

Done everything?
 

Ok well, I have been on here approx. 3 hours reading through forums and trying everything that they have said. I have completely uninstalled and deleted several times. Went to LW's files to fine the Gnutella file to delete it, dl it again, and put it back in LW's files. The Gnutella file was not there, so I dl'd it and put it in. I have checked, and unchecked every box that was suggested. Checked my firewalls, and still no connection. I have no idea what to try next......

Me Too!!!!!!
 

I have the same problem! Someone needs to report this to the administration. lets get this fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even get my limewire to start. I click on the link and the little blue circle appears then disappears and nothing ever happens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times and I can't get this fixed. If you know how please email me at *email address removed*. Thanks.

same problem
 

i have used limewire before on another computer and have had no problems.
i then tried to use it on my laptop and started having the message about currently connecting to the network appear.
why!?!
do we all have similarities? eg are we all using Vista? etc.....
i have looked through this forum so many times trying to find the answer. i have also tried to sort it out on my own.anyone had any luck?

Yes I Have Seen The Message. I Think Once To Often On The Past Couple Of Days. I Have A New Computer So I'm Pretty Sure It's Limewire.
Should You Find a solution Please Post It.

:mad:Mine always seems to come up with that. What do I do?

I have used limewire in the past also. It always worked fine. I upgraded everytime they asked me to practically. I recently had to reformat my hard drive and lost my limewire pro. So I paid for it again and I haven't been able to get it to connect one time. This has been going on for a week. I called my ISP and had them to show me how to disable my router firewall and still nothing. Glad it's just not me, but can somebody please post how to fix this. Thank you in advance.

Has anyone figured out the problem? I am having the same problem and I also done all the suggestions with the firewall and limewire has total access......... Can anyone help?

Take a look at Birdy's Thread Below.

hi
 

you have the same things i have on my both desktop and laptop,accept the norton antivirus,have McAfee,same router,windows,so here is a suggestion that might help you,try to see if the status of your inbound and outbound is reading allow,not block on your windows firewall advanced with security,it worked for me,everybody has different opinion and suggestion,so try mine and see if it works ok.:idea:

Connection ok now
 

Hi Ms Pooh, I havn't changed a thing in my setup and thought I'd try the connection again before I reply. It connected first time!!! Thats good, but also bad because I don;t know the reason. Anyway I'm happy I can start to use the program now. Thanks for your help anyway.
:idea:

Always have that message.
And at the moment limewire wont connect.

Hi, sorry I can't really help. Mine just started to work ok although all my settings were unchanged. It is still working fine now.

Cheers....Andy.F

Dont worry
 

Dont worry..i might just buy LimeWire PRO...
But you have to pay in dollars
And im English
:confused:

Hey TV Dinners can you give us the thread that has the solution that fixed this problem?

iva had the same problem. ad i tried to follow the directions, but some dont make any sense. there is no way to contact anyone from limewire. wth

That's what I've been getting. I'm in Australia.

I've got LimeWire Pro - and it still won't connect fully to the internet. And it shows I;m behind a Firewall - which I most certainly am njot.

same problem
 

I have been trying off and on for a couple months and I cannot fully connect either. I thought it was my puter so if anyone can give me a answer I would really appriciate it. Thanis a bunch people.

to tv dinners
