I have read through all of the connection threads and have not seen anyone who is using Vista that has fixed a connection issue. I have eliminated my router and connected directly, shut off Windows firewall, removed Norton, updated Java and I can still not connect. I downloaded the most recent version of Limewire basic. I looked for the gnutella.net file(with hidden files shown)and do not see it to replace? I connect at my sister's house through her ISP and have no issues. Any suggestions on how to get through w/o changing ISPs?
