| 4.0.8 XP Pro 100.0 mbps ethernet (unsure if that's T1 or T3) Problem that just started today, seemingly the same problem a lot of people are having: I can't connect, no matter what I do. It says "Connecting...", holds there, then says "Disconnected". I've read through the forum and tried out the suggestions. - I deleted the preferences folder. Nothing. - I ran a bug report. It said false. This is even though I don't have a firewall on. - I downloaded the latest version of Java, just in case. I don't know whether or not I have SP2. - I uninstalled and reinstalled it about 7 times. Nothing. - I added 6346 in the firewall list, even though I didn't have a firewall on. So I tried it with the firewall on, still didn't work. Turned it back off, still nothing. I live on a college campus, but don't believe P2P is firewalled, since my roommate is using Limewire as I speak. Also, I downloaded Ares, Phex, and WinMX... those don't connect either, but Soulseek does and downloads at its usual slow pace. Any help? |

| Go check your buddy's Options and see (in the Advanced section) what port he's using for LW. If it's a different port, use that in your own LW.

| Try copying your friend's preferences to your own comp. Prefs are in a folder called .limewire, so replace yours with his. |

| poor connection problems I run xp with sp2 on a p4 2gig with outpost firewall(no windows firewall) on a 2.3mb dsl connection. I too had problems connecting first of all you must go into the folder that you use to log on(ie not all users) you must also ensure you are viewing the correct limewire folder(i deleted and re-installed several times trying to make it work) if need be use the search programme to check for existing copies of limewire. also ensure that limewire is not on the taskbar delete the said folder and restart limewire this fix works |

| Not being an XP user I can only suggest this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=29243 Alternatively do a search for limewire on your comp. |

| I'm now totally confused. After my last post I switched back to OSX and LW ran fine. I've done nothing to the computer since then, no installs, nothing, and now I'm right back where I was with the eternal "connecting" problem. What can possibly be causing this bizarre behavior?  |
