Hi,
Try this:- (
you must show all hidden files)
[1] Open windows explorer (windows XP SP2) select Tools à select Folder Options à select View à select Show hidden files and folders. [2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder – go here:- c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire (or) c:\documents and settings\username\limewire [3] Ensure that limewire is completely off (check that it isn't in the system tray-bottom right-if it is click on it and select exit) now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file (see image below) If you don't find a gnutella.net file dont panic - go to para [4] and cont. 
[4] download a new version from (here) and save it to yr desktop [5] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder. [6] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire NOTE: If you are using VISTA click on the link below (how to show hidden files in windows vista) -- also in vista you will find the LimeWire folder here:- C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire (then continue from para 3)
If this doesn't fix yr problem:-
Go to Limewire links (below) click on (if LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if yr problem still remains after this click on (System details) fill in as much as you can and post here
