We just installed Limeware on an XP PC. When we open up the program, it says "disconnected, no files available" at the top. If we go to file, the next choice "connection" is hushed.

On a lark, I tried this jar fix, but it did not help. My problem may be a lot more basic.

For what it's worth, If I go to my LAN connection, and go to the advanced tab, I see choices about Internet Connection firewall, but there is no mention of Internet Connection Sharing. Could that be the problem? If so, how to get it?

is your internet connection firewall enabled? that may be part of the issue.

No, it is not enabled.

Are you using the built in firewall? If not, you should also check it.

Many people don´t know that XP has a built in firewall.

when I tried to connect I got a reply that said I needed to debug. I sent the message to lime wire and was sent here to find help. How do I debug?

I just downloaded a new version of Limewire and it wont connect at all..I deleted my directory and all that stuff just like I was told to but it totally still wont connect. Can anyone help?! Thanks, Ashley!!

I have Windows XP. I use Internet Explorer and I get my service through Cox Broadband. My LimeWire always says "disconnected". When I go to "File" and select "Connect", LimeWire says "connecting" for 2 seconds and then returns to "disconnected."

So far I have tried all of the following:
I have disabled Norton Internet Security
I have disabled my Windows XP personal firewall.
I have deleted the preferences folder of LimeWire
I have also run java - jar purger.jar


I am running out of ideas. I can't believe it is this difficult to connect. Should I try a different product?

I followed both the first and second string (deleting .limewire directory AND running the link) to no avail. I also added 'gnutella' in my LAN settings, as directed.

Still no connect. Send more help!

I downloaded "purger" but my computer does not know what program to use to open it, and double clicking on it only brings up that question.
