Hi LOTR,

Thanks for your continued interest in this problem.

I got this message from Ken: "nothing comes up when doing a search for gnutella.net file."

(Versions used are LW 5.0.11, Java 1.6.0_11)

Could it be that because he has uninstalled and reinstalled Limewire, this file has already been deleted, or did his search simply fail to find the file? Can you tell me where the file would normally be?

Thanks,

Roger

If your friend (or you) click on this link: If LW Will Not Connect (click on the blue link)

you'll find detailed instructions for finding the file on XP & a couple of links to help on Vista. He'll need to make sure that he's showing hidden files & folders on his computer - the file lives within a folder that's hidden by deault.

For 5.0.11, he should only need to delete the file rather than replace it

Hi Birdy,

Thanks so much for the reply and I am sorry to have been so stupid. I recall reading in a post while searching for answers about ensuring that hidden folders are made visible but of course I forgot when the time came!

I will pass this on to Ken and get back to the forum with a result,

Thanks again,

Roger
