I think its a problem in the actual LimeWire software, just my opinion though. I did a system restore and made it exactly the way it was before I upgraded to the newer version and it still doesnt work.

I have been using Limewire Version 4.12 for sometime and i recently reformatted my computer and now it won't connect. I've tried everything you suggested without any luck. I have tried to search for .limewire with hidden files checked and it doesn't exist. I've looked for it under documents and settings ect.. and it aint there. I uninstalled and reinstalled without luck. I'm using a fresh XP SP2 with all the Windows Updates. Maybe a new update is interfering? I don't have a Firewall besides the XP one and I disabled that but I still have a wall in front of my globe and under bugreport it is saying false. I'm puzzled.

Well I found this and it worked for me.

1.get file gnutella.zip from here (right click - save target as )

http://minasbeis.tripod.com/gnutella.zip

and unzip it

2.go to directory
C:\Documents And Settings\username\Application Data\LimeWire
(where username is the name you use to login to your PC) and replace the existing file gnutela.net with that

3.restart limewire.

Excellent, that worked for me to, thans a bunch.

Thank you sooo much, this worked perfect for me

It says the gnutella file is not available

its says that ther ie no path to that folder...

You have to right click over the link and save target as.

I'm really not finding where this "gunatella.net" file is on my computer. I have the new one to replace it, but I can't find the folder or file to replace it.
