So you've tried all the fixes in the thread here (click on blue link)? If LW Will Not Connect

If nothing there has worked, you need to provide your system details.

Sorry ... do you want personal service? Will you pay my airfare & hotel fee to travel to USA or europe to fix your problem? lol We do NOT work for LimeWire ... we receive nothing at all. We are like you, hobbyists p2p users. If you don't like LimeWire then use Phex.

Sometimes we get thanks for the help we give here .. sometimes we get people thinking 'we' are responsible for their problems. lol

Whilst on the topic monsieur305 , I see you are in breach of forum rules for not supplying your computer details as described in forum rules as a requirement for assistance for connection problems .. despite your 5 posts.

BTW how's the weather down there in georgia.

Well you should have started with LW Basic first ... if can connect ok & like it, then consider getting Pro. LW Basic is Free.

It may be related to one of the issues here Cant download at all - nothing happens when I click download (click on link). Else it's a corrupt java issue, uninstall all java versions & reinstall, else or and, delete your LW prefs folder.

Ive tried everything.uninstalling LW and reinstalling.. uninstalling java and reinstalling it. rebooting, shutting off all fire walls and a/v software. I connected one night but wasnt able to download any songs.. when I searched nothing was found... and now Im back to not connecting.Not even able to see connections under the tab. i say its not anything on our end.. all different modems, OS, computers, I see it as a LW problem.

1. OS version? Windows Vista Home premium upgrade 32 bit
2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall( disalbed). I've made limewire an exception on it. I lalso have Norton 360 but has an excpetion on it
3. How much ram? 1 gig
4. Hard Disk space available?50 gig
5. Connection type? Broadband DSL through Verizon
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Westel 327W
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House
