So why am I paying this money and not getting any help? I see all these people with the same problem. Windows XP going, try to connect, stays on for a nano-second and then disconnects. I want answers and I want music. I mean, what's up, really. This is ridiculous. Yes, I've tried the fix, then the next fix, then the one after that. Yes, I've dealt with the firewalls and the uninstalling. I just want something to work, please, what about this 100% money back guarantee?

Default Connection... what's that.

After reading 3 pages of posts, or whatever they're called, I'm no closer than anyone else. I do not understand half of the computer speak that's being used, which makes it that much more infuriating that I cannot connect. Gone are the days when we could download Kazaa Lite in about 25 seconds, and 5 minutes later have an entire album on file. All I want to know is this: Where on God's green earth may I download music? Evidently not here. I apologize for being harsh, but this is absolutely ridiculous. And I almost spent 18 bucks. Many of these questions I've read tonight are months old... who is helping us?

I run windows 2000 professional, and I do NOT have firewalls period. I am permanently connected through an LAN provider. LimeWire still will not connect after attempting all of these procedures. I would suggest maybe the developing team of this program go back to the drawing board because the new version does NOT work !

daduh are you sure it's not a firewall issue? XP has it's own firewall. It needs to be set to allow java & LW to pass! To quote the child of the Olympics God, murasame Go to Limewire->Preferences and click on the Bug Reports selection. There, click for an example and scroll down to the part where it says: Recieved incoming this session. If it says true then Limewire does not have a problem from Firewall. If it says false, Firewall(s) are blocking the connection. I hope this helps in figuring the cause of your problem.

Default Connection Problems

I also could not connect after following all the suggestions.
I found my Norton Anti-virus was blocking the connection even though "automatic program control" was enabled.
