Except for a connection to one host about a week ago, I haven't been able to connect for around two months. I have replaced my gnutella.net file several times. I have deleted my LimeWire preferences three times. I checked to see I have only one copy of Java and that it has the latest update installed (update 5). I double-checked my router's UPnP and port forwarding settings, even changing the port I'm using twice to see if that would do anything (also adjusting the corresponding values in LimeWire's preferences and the OS' firewall allowance listing). I made sure the router has the latest firmware available for it (and what it has is the same version it used when I was able to connect). I simply do not understand why it was working fine one day and then suddenly couldn't connect the next. I do remember, though, that the program would cycle through connection hosts in the week or two prior to not connecting at all--I would often have just two of my connections remain while the other three would cycle, dropping and getting replaced by other hosts. I don't know what else to check or try, and I'm getting tired of banging my head against this wall.
