Hi. I am running the latest version of Limewire Pro. I installed it and everything was fine, but I also couldn't seem to get connected. I went through the Options and at the bottom under advanced, there was an option to let you pick the network card. I have VMware Workstation installed on this box and Limewire was defaulting to the VM Virtual NIC. I set it to manually look at the physical NIC of the box and bang...off it went.

That might be an option you want to check out.

This solution worked for me i had the same problem ,limewire couldnot connect.
Download this file gnutella.net.net

and copy it to cocuments and settings-user name-Application data-Limewire!
Delete original file gnutella.net!
Restart Limewire!
Wait a minute so limewire connects to net! It worked for me!

p.m:if limewire still cannot connect try to rename downloaded gnutella.net.net to gnutella.net

Try this post from me digdeep!

Any ideas are GREATLY appreciated... I've never had trouble connecting to Limewire in the past and it's really disappointing to have it be unavailable.

You can also try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config, change LW's listening port to 65000 (or anything in the range of 49152 - 65535) > apply > ok.

it aske me to download then when i selct run , and durin the run it says i have a previously older version of limewire running but i have uninstalld the older version. i push retry and it pops again. then i push ignore and it pops up another warnin sayin it cant downloadin. i have downloaded for vista. so what do i do?

i am having this same trouble i have the brick in fornt of the globe and i have one green bar but not connecting at all and we upgraded to turbo 2 weeks ago not happy

How did you uninstall LW? If you did it via Add/Remove programs (or the Vista equivalent) that's the wrong way & can cause problems. Open Task Manager & check whether there's a LW process running...if there is, end the process.

Try reinstalling now. If it still doesn't work, use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with LW in the name & delete what you find. If you've changed LW's saved folder from the default location, & are saving files to a folder with limewire in the name...careful that you don't delete that saved folder & lose your downloads!

Restart your computer & see whether LW will install now.
