Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

1. windows xp
2. norton firewall
3. ram unknown
4.cdrive 55.25, ddrive 777mb
5. dsl broadband
6. hp pavilion a 720n, model#mxk44804sv
7.home
8.4.8.1 limewire java 5.0

have not been able to connect since i downloaed new version of limewire. have reset gnutella ports. have used "jar".

thank you !

Make sure your firewalls are properly configured to allow LW: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml for XP. And for Norton see: Configuring Norton Internet Security

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

The problem is I have never had a problem on this desktop computer connecting to Limewire until recently... Vista, HP pavilion desktop, McAfee, Java 1.6.0_10, Limewire 4.14.8., Recovery D: 1.63 free of 7.68, HP C:245 GB free of 364GB, Comcast broadband highest speed, Modem ARRIS provided by Comcast, Linksys wrt546 "wired" to upstairs xp laptop that has no problem connecting to Limewire. I really do not want Frostwire and would like to use Limewire. I just can't figure out why BiTorrent, Frostwire, etc connects but Limewire doesn't. Thanks for trying to help..Fran

What does your problem have in similarity to this 3 year old thread? Different computer configuration, different firewall, different isp, only thing in common is you are using LW but a different version.

Problem might be the gnutella file else perhaps the advanced settings, else perhaps using same port as another limewire on same network. :)
