Today, I totally uninstalled Limewire, re-downloaded it, re-installed it, verified the windows, my anti-virus software and my router firewalls were all "OFF" (a scary position to be in, but I'm trying ANYTHING at this point!).

No good result ... still unable to "connect" and/or do anything.

Is it possible, via chat, to work with someone to get it working. I am determined to get it to work before considering the "Pro" version. I see messages from others who purchased the Pro version and can't get it to connect either.

Thanks.

I'm also using Windows Vista. I can get it to open and trying to connect. It says connecting to network for ever and ever. And doesn't go anywhere. I'm currently instaling it again. Any help what so ever, or any ideas. And where is that file? Can someone help me find out how to get to it. I deleated everything I could find that said Limewire on it. I also had it working a cupple moinths ago but had to reinstall Vista so it cleaned everything. And I downloaded it again and thas when the problems started.

Not sure if the origional post is just out of date or something, but i've been searching for solutions to my lack of connectivity and none of them seem to be right. This one involves deleting the preferences folder, but I can't find one anywhere. Another had you delete and replace the Gnutella.net file, which also was nowhere to be found. I went under Tools -> Options -> Advanced in Limewire and set the Listen on Port and Manual Port Forward to 59812 and Listen on port to the same just like portforward.com said to but that didn't work either.

Currently my internet setup is as follows:

ISP: Timewarner (Roadrunner Broadband)
Cable comes into house, connects to cable modem, which connects to Netgear wireless router, which connects to upstairs computer hard line, and my downstairs computer wireless. Now Norton Antivirus is on the upstairs computer, but I wouldn't think it would affect me since I'm not connected through that computer, just through the router which the cable modem is hooked into. Azureus works fine for me, just Limewire is giving me problems.

Don't worry, there wasn't one for me and I consider myself somewhat adept at computers.
