Default

For those of you STILL having connection problems with LimeWire.

1. Make sure you install Socks2HTTP and use DEFAULT settings unless
a. You are behind a proxy
b. Purchased a different Gateway from Socks2HTTP

2. Install SocksCap and drag the limewire icon into the window. Then launch Limewire through SocksCap

One stupid thing I got hungup on is... The "Connecting to Gnutella Network" was always displayed and the connection bars were ALWAYS red. This is okay --- it is because Limewire still assumes you are connecting through the default port. So be sure and conduct a search before you assume it is not working.
