it didnt work for me..i had no problems before..but my computer was on the fritz so i had to delete limewire..i reinstalled it and now it doesnt want to connect..this sucks

Hi all,
I have tried everything suggested in this forum.

What DID work was checking my routers firewall.
If you have a 2wire wireless router/firewall, login to the "Firewall/Advanced Settings" menu and ensure that you have the "Outbound" controls for "All other protocols" and/or "IRC" checked.

This may be blocking the Limewire in/out ports.

Hope this helps.

I've been using LimeWire for years. I used to have LimeWire Pro (4.2.6). I rebooted my pc. I reinstalled everything and decided to install LimeWire 4.12.11. I suddenly can't connect. I have Windows XP, Belkin router and McAfee Internet Security. I already disabled ALL firewalls but LimeWire still shows I'm behind a firewall. I tried BearShare and it worked (and then uninstalled it again). I really wanted LimeWire to work coz I love it and I'm used to its settings... but if it doesn't work I would have to use BearShare instead.
Can someone please help me get LimeWire to work. Thanks!

Yes My macafee Security Center Has Fire wall and it is set to allow all lime wire Fuctions I Just Dont Know . Wonder if Problem Could Be in Windows service pak 2 partly blocking Lw ???????? I have Striped it out of pc and re installed it it still will not connect to net work. i to have since found out that Isp is not Blocking My cable service . In any way that would cause My Problem On . And every p2p file sharing prograhm i put in my pc will not connect. I have Had these prograhms installed (1) MP 3 Rocket ( 2) Phex ( 3 ) Frostwire ( 4 ) Gnucleus ( 5 )Lime wire ( 6 ) ares all of These will not connect With Exception of ( 7 ) Shareaza when i installed it it Said that windows Xp Ser. Pk 2 Or Some other Environment Was Pairtly BlockingRestricting. Num Of Connections attempted at once. Shareaza will connect to net work But it is so so slow It Took 2 Hr & 42 Min. to download 1 song Just dont know what is wrong I am one that likes to Down load music I have in my lime wire Library 765 songs and other files app 200 or so i am not a free loader so to say just wish i could get it working, Now I have tried Bear Share & I Mesh Where you have to pay monthly fee They connect fine no problem with them. Do not have them installed now but did at one time. Thanks John Wilmoth

Hi,

my limewire can connect now to the network after deleting this dir, but the files that were busy downloading don't resume. Any way to fix this?

Thx,
G.

I shall try the fix, but would like to point out that limewire works fine in the morning, becoming progressively slower as the day progresses, and completely stops downloading by late afternoon. My impression is that my ISP [Pipex] is blocking it.

What if my 'test page' worked (per previous note to check this page first for connection). there was no information or link to address if there seems to be some kind of communication- but there still is 'no connection' w/ Limewire.

I'm on XP and I had to search in a little bit further then the location you suggested, but I found the file and upon restarting Limewire after deleting said file it seems to be working fine again. An additional note I will add is that I had been able to connect on this system prviously.
