Intoduction & problem with connecting Limewire 4.1.18

[birdofparadise5]

Well, it is not working again....ugh. It was working fine last night after I shut off the one firewall I know of and removed other software that essentially does the same. I actually have the first of the bars in connected on, but it says "still connecting" if I try to search. Any other ideas? If I were to upgrade to the current LW 5 that is available will that wipe out my 4000 songs. Please help.....

Did you replace the gnutella.net file as LOTR suggested? Or try any of the other fixes here? If LW 4 Will Not Connect (click on the blue link)

If you've tried all fixes & still need help, please give us your details: System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

Normally you shouldn't lose any saved files if you update LW.
Have you changed the location for saving from LW's default (tools > options > saving will show you where files are saved)? Some people have ended up saving files to LW within Program Files - in that case saved files would be lost if LW was updated. Not a safe place at all for saving

So just check your saving location to make sure.
