C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire
Application Data's hidden by default, so you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files & folders to be able to see it (control panel > folder options > view > check the radio button to show hidden files & folders > apply > ok). Vista users look here C:\Users\your \\username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire

Thanks for your help. I'm using Leopard on a new iMac with a new Airport Extreme router. Your suggestion of trashing the prefs worked.

Default Tip for Connecting from Susheel Daswani

Thanks, I have Vista and Norton s/w and couldn't figure out why I wasn't connecting. This tip worked the first time, much appreciated.

Do I need to reboot after changing the gnutella file? Because I've deleted and replaced it multiple times with no success.

Great, now I can connect, but none of my searches find anything. Even the most common artist turns up nothing. And on top of that, the connection is constantly resetting itself.

In LW go tools -> options -> searching -> basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it -> Apply -> ok

Also check out this link by wondering why (search problems) if these dont work try this link by LOTR (Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should)
