| I'm glad it worked for some but, I am still having trouble. I deleted everything relating to limewire, re-installed it and tried it all again. I've tried every option I could find to remedy this problem. I've also made sure that my firewall is allowing limewire in. I still have the little wall over the earth pic but, that never mattered before. Last edited by nobudycool; January 21st, 2009 at 10:49 AM. Reason: more info |

Check your firewall, Delete/Replace gnutella.net File, Delete Limewire's Preference Folder -- if still not working go back to the top and do the rest of the fixes. NOTE: [1] when you replace the gnutella.net file with a new one check the filesize -- The download size from mediafire (gnutella.net) is 25.37kb -- if smaller download another gnutella.net file. [2] The Preference Folder is another name for Limewire Folder.

| Skyler, Birdie, I'm stoked (very happy) that people like you sit there for days and days answering the same questions over and over for people like me. Once I deleted the new telefile (your second step) I got green bars. Now, if I can keep them GREEN..... You guys are awesome! Thank you!! |
