Then it's certainly a problem with your network configuration.

New=bad;old=good
I should have stuck with what I had (v.2.3.4), but I was stupidly tempted by the all-singing all-dancing v.2.4.4 and installed it this p.m.

Since then no connections...

Taliban, I've followed all your advice to the letter and absolutely nothing happens after Limewire loads. Nothing has changed in my network configs since v.2.3.4, which worked without problem. I've a sneaking suspicion that this is related to the bundled spyware. I binned/blocked it with Ad-aware/ZoneAlarm as I did with previous versions of Limewire.

I remember though that v.2.4.4 connected the first time, only after I let JAVAWS.EXE online. I know that's spyware and I have since blocked its access ... and since have had no connection.

Coincidence??

Taliban--do you know how can I use the gnutella.net file you gave a link to on a Mac running OS X? Or will I have to add them in manuelly (god, I hope not--that's a lot of addresses <grin>)

Thanks in advance

Nope, Mr. Rohr, it is still not fixed. I have tried to do everything you have said; however, I only manage to stay connected for 2 seconds. If my ISP blocks gnutella, then what can I do to make it stop? I use MacOSX

If you know, where you installed LimeWire (the folder with your LimeWire.jar), simply copy the gnutella.net file into that folder.

You will have to ask your ISP what exactly they are blocking. Maybe you simply can't use gnutella clients.

Hmm. I did that, and then started Limewire. Nothing--still using the original list I had.

i paid the 14 bucks for unlimited limewire usage, but it has not worked for 2 weeks. when i click on limewire, i get a message advising me to copy and paste some message to bugs@limewire.com. this has done me good, as i have received no reply, and my limewire still does not work.

any suggestions?
