do you have limewire set to auto load when u sign online?
cause i had to take auto load off...and now just click the icon on the desktop after i sign online...

that worked!

For those users that still can't connect, we are investigating the issue further. Again, please make sure that 1) you don't have personal firewall software blocking connections and 2) that your ISP does not disallow gnutella connections.

I'm glad to see that the technique is working for some users. Though it is very surprising that the fix is not as general purpose as I thought it would be.

it worked for me too..... thanx

I'm using OSX and this didn't work for me. I'm also behind a school network, so that may be part of the problem.

what about mac OS9?

It Worked For me But
i Got rid of the folder with limewire running.

Well Yeah I Think The School Network Is The Prob...They Set Up Controls.....

Maybe it is because the sharing indicator is constantly on red and I have one file being shared that Limewire does not work. I can type in a file name to search for and enter - but nothing happens. I have not attempted to use limewire for weeks because of this problem. I am using Windows XP HE, and cannot see a preferences directory to delete in my docs and settings folder. Unless I find a solution I can never use limewire again.
