I went through my application data folder under my user name but I can't find the .limewire folder. Please help.

You must show all hidden files like so:-

[1] Open windows explorer:-
select Tools à Folder Options à View à Show hidden files and folders.
[2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder – go here:-
c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire
(or)
c:\documents and settings\username\limewire
[3] Ensure that limewire is completely off - (check system tray-bottom right-if the
LW icon is still there-right click select exit)

now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file




[4] Now download a new version of gnutella.net and save it to your desktop -
[5] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder.
[6] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire
Hope this helps-please let us know

I have read through all of the connection threads and have not seen anyone who is using Vista that has fixed a connection issue. I have eliminated my router and connected directly, shut off Windows firewall, removed Norton, updated Java and I can still not connect. I downloaded the most recent version of Limewire basic. I looked for the gnutella.net file(with hidden files shown)and do not see it to replace? I connect at my sister's house through her ISP and have no issues. Any suggestions on how to get through w/o changing ISPs?

That's ok just download a new gnutella.net file and drag it into your
Limewire Folder (see my thread addressed to junkie and follow the
same steps)

let us know if this works please
