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. |

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. Quote:
If LW Will Not Connect If nothing there helped, post back with your system details (info in the thread). |
