| OK LW oprefs for Windows: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire If LW won't connect after that view the 1st few pages & last 2 pages of http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1 & check your results to the incoming test. By the way keep your questions to one thread only or we'll ignore your threads! See: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29 |

| If you're a windows user it means your c drive. Which is where most of your goodies are stored. Use your search engine to find .limewire to make it easier for you. Press the Start button at bottom left corner & select Search>Files/Folders & type in .Limewire |

| Delete the .limewire folder. Then open the LW app up again & things should be ok. You will need to reset your options within LW (Tools-Options, etc.) |

| Leave LW on for several minutes (say about 15-25), then see what it's doing. Go to LW's menu Tools-Options & Bug Report & press the View example button. Follow the instructions on the following link & report back whether your result is True or False. Click this link for sample of what you need to do |

1. What type of modem & router & what's the brand & model no. of them? 2. What Operating System (OS) version do you use? 3. Do you have XP with the Security Patch 2 (SP2)? 4. What firewalls do you have? XP? Norton, McAfee, etc.? This info is very important for fixing your problem so you must provide me the particular details! |
