Question Can't Connect!

I need some MAJOR Help here! I'm totally clueless as to how to work this program and all I want to do is get some music!! Anyway what am I doing wrong because I'm connected to the internet and everything but when I click Connect on the LimeWire Screen it won't connect. The little red thing on the bottom that says Sharing Files turns green for about 5 seconds and then goes red again. How do I connect properly?? Thanks a million! MUCH LOVE TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP!

I am having the exact same problem. I am connected to the internet and my computer supports the gnutella network. But Limewire won't connect! Any suggestions?

Thumbs down Connection troubles

I can't get connected either. I tried that configuration thing in the FAQ section and it told me that gnutelle was ok to go. I even downloaded the updated version. What's wrong? Thanks a bunch!

Thumbs down

I also am having the exact same problem so this must mean there is a major problem with Gnutella. I wanted to post to a moderator so we can get resolution but they request only a specific set of problems be reported and it doesn't include connection problems. I just hope a moderator is aware of this already.

Default R U behind a firewall?

I am having the same problem, but I am pretty sure it is because I am connected behind a firewall for which the default port is blocked. Could that be the case with the rest of you?

Question Can't Connect

Limewire is trying about a million different connections and can't get any of them to connect! Am i doing something wrong - should the FTP or HTTP proxies be configured differently - or does limewire not support proxies?

Default

LimeWire currently does not support proxies. Without a direct connection to the internet you will not be able to use LimeWire.
