Default I Might Have One Solution

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 the fixes in the post below.
If LW Will Not Connect

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.

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.
