Have you tried a Connection fix? Or checking other solutions? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html

If you have not used LW for 30 or more days, you will have major problems connecting. Unfortunately this is how LW 5 was designed, to delete the connection file upon opening if the connection file is a month or more old. Back then, LW had bootstrap servers which helped with connections, but they were turned off around October 2010.

Those who have the OSX connection fix installer from February onward can keep hold of it for many months I suspect in case of connection problems. The installer changes the connection file date upon installing. I was unable to do this with the Windows connection installer. One option is to use File_Girl71's Windows Fix found as an attachment at bottom of this post here.
