Default firewall problems
For XP I found the easiest way was to go into explorer and choose search

Click all files and folders
put limewire in the top box
click search.
EVERYTHING that comes up - Delete!

Close down your firewall in control panel.

Download and install limewire.

It worked for me after several attempts and frustration trawling through individual folders.

Incidently I have a Vista machine and LW worked fine. Maybe it is a XP SP3 issue.

I had major problems running latest Limewire [XP SP3] after years of no problems. Did search on all files & folders with word limewire. Deleted everything.
I turned OFF the firewall and loaded limewire and everything worked. You will need to reset preferences but no big deal. Hope this helps!

Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Linux:
~/.limewire

Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, delete the whole directory, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect.

I'd love to hear how this works for everyone.

Thanks!

I don't have a directory, library...anything. I have been working on this all day!! I have connected in the past. Not today - I even purchased it. Limewire claims i have a firewall -- but I know I don't. Someone please help.
