please help me!!
 

I´m from Germany so sorry for my bad englisch.
Well my problem is,
when I start limewire, the programm opens a window, and the window says:
" Your machine does not appear to have an active connection or a firewall is blocking limewire from accessautomatically ing the Internet.
LimeWire will automatically keep trying to connect you to the network unless you select " Disconnect " from the File menu "

Well I do not have any firewalls on my machine, so I do not know what is wrong. I use Windows 98, if that is the reason, I will use Windows2k in the future, but i could not imagine that this is the reason.
The only thing I am able to remember is that I have had this problem since my girlfriend clicked on 60 Tracks and let LimeWire go on the whole night but I think this is a coincidence isn´t it???

1. Delete the LW Preferences folder called .limewire (whilst LW is closed!) & found here: Your .limewire folder is in "C:\My Documents"

2. Update your Java: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...radejava.shtml

3. If you're still having problems: Can you tell us: (a) Connection type, (b) Modem & router brand name & model numbers?

4. It is not wise to try to connect to too many fils at the same time & also not wise to use the Resume or Find Sources buttons on many files in the one session. This will queue the files for much longer & also affect LW's connection quality.
