I had the same problem and found this answer somewhere in these forums. It worked and it's dead easy. Go to C drive, all users, your name, look for limewire folder, open it, find a file called gnutella.nte and delete it. (close limewire first). Restart limewire and hopefully you'll be ok.

Hey there Buckie-or anybody who would know--read your advice on how to get Limewire to connect by going into the Cdrive and following your steps--one huge problem--my computer skills are awful and I suck--how do you get to that Cdrive thing? I havent got a clue how to do that. Ive used Limewire for a couple of years and never had a problem connecting until I updated their latest version and now I cant get any connections with them> Please help if you can --appreciate it much--thx Debbie

Try these suggestions first: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html

If still no good then get an older version such as either LW 4.16 or 4.12: LimeWire - OldVersion.com

I'm using Windows XP. This is what you do.From the stsrt menu open my computer, then 2C2 drive, then documents and settings, then your username, then the limewire folder, then delete gnutella.net.

THIS IS THE FIX RIGHT HERE! BUCKIE GOT IT RIGHT FOR ME.
I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO CONNECT TO LIMEWIRE SINCE IT UPGRADED TO THE 4.186 VERSION.
SO I CAME HERE, READ BUCKIES FIX, DELETED THE GUTNELLA FILE, JUST LIKE HE DESCRIBED, AND THAT FIXED IT. I AM NOW CONNECTED, I CAN SEARCH FOR SONGS AGAIN, AND AM SHARING FILES AGAIN.
THANK YOU BUCKIE! YOU DA MAN!
