Limewire sometimes connects, sometimes not. (More often NOT) Why?

I've installed Limewire 1.6 on a Mac running OS 8.6. No problem with download or installation. Application opens, but won't connect, despite active internet connection. Any thoughts?

Try to manually connect to connect.gnutellanet.com
or (connect1 (2,3,4)). -greg |

I'm having the same problem. But I also have this problem of not being able to connect with BearShare which leads me to believe it may be some kind of Gnutella network problem. My cable modem connection to the internet is otherwise fine. Any ideas? Please help!

Try all the available pong caches. If those do not work, try router.limewire.com:6349.
Next week, the LimeWire clients should connect better with the addition of some new server hardware/software. -greg |

On the Connections tab, there are two add buttons and a textfield beside each.
If you just want to manually use connect1.limewire.com this one time to connect, then type it into the upper textfield and hit the add button. If you always want to use connect1.limewire.com for connecting, type it into the lower textfield, click the add button and then click connect. Assuming that your connect button is working (you may need to wait a little and try again), that should work. -greg |

If you have never connected with BearShare or LimeWire then you are behind some type of firewall or proxy where you can not connect. If only your browser (Netscape or IE) can work in general then you won't be able to connect.
If it is just an issue of the connect button not working, try the community tab to force an attempt. Experiment a little. -greg |
