Ok, I have installed for the moment LW 4.8 because right now LW 5 is not working for me.

Anyway, I have tried to delete the .limewire folder and uncheck the auto-connect feature when limewire starts. All following the instructions in this forum. It just says "Connecting", stays this way for hours but it doesn't connect.

I tried opening the port that it uses: 6346. I quit LW, restart it and it still does not connect.

Any other suggestions? Thank you very much. I'm using windows Vista.
