This solution did not work for me either. I have vista, i tried the solution given i followed everything EXACTLY twice and it still didnt work. I shut down all firewalls and tried all other solutions suggested, still nothing. I have cable internet and i am obvisouly able to be on the internet bt it tells me "network error, there might be a problem with your internet connection" Please Help!

Well there are other solutions suggestions at top of this section. Did you try them yet? And do not forget to look at top of this page to see the forum description.

Man..., I've been tearing my hair out for weeks and haven't figured it out. Thanx!

I tried connecting, but i just recently moved to LW5 from FrostWire, but i had the same issue with FrostWire... I couldn't connect. This all started after my Norton Antivirus subscription was up... can anyone help?!?!?!???

Does your Norton include Norton firewall/security? Some people don't realise their Norton includes a firewall, can you check?
Have a look at top of page for the link on system details.

Ok.. I have LW5.1.2, I am using WinXP, I am not an expert but i have some experience with p2p programs, I have 2 gigs of ram, about 40 gigs of harddrive unused, and the only antivirus/security program i have is Norton Antivirus. My modem is a USB iBurst Wireless interface, and i have never had problems like this before with it.

If completely uninstall Limewire and reinstall will I lose everything I downloaded?

No, everything will remain in your music folder.

Ok, I have installed for the moment LW 4.8 because right now LW 5 is not working for me.

Anyway, I have tried to delete the .limewire folder and uncheck the auto-connect feature when limewire starts. All following the instructions in this forum. It just says "Connecting", stays this way for hours but it doesn't connect.

I tried opening the port that it uses: 6346. I quit LW, restart it and it still does not connect.

Any other suggestions? Thank you very much. I'm using windows Vista.

Hi,
Try these fixes please (If LW 4 will not connect) do them in this order:-
[1] check your firewall
[2] delete/replace gnutella.net File
[3] delete limewire's preferences folder (another name for Limewire foler)
if still not working go back to the top and do the remainder of the fixes
Please let us know how you get on
