Yay! worked for me and i have windows!

About the problem with it not connecting:
I tried deleting the preferences, and I tried Limewhacko's method but it still achieved no results for me. I'm using Mac 10.2.8

I am a new user with $ 18.88 invested in a program that won't work, and your suggested fix does nothing to correct the problem.

Does not work! I feel I have just been ripped off for $ 18.88 for a program that does not work. I should have read the compaints on this forum before I paid the money.

For those PRO users still experiencing connection issues, please contact support@limewire.com for further consultation.

Thanks!

Ski, let me say a few words about this forum.

Limewire reports right now that 150,000 people are in the gnutella network successfully. If say, 10% of them are using Limewire, that means that fifteen thousand people are using Limewire successfully right now, as we speak. Perhaps there are one hundred or two hundred active threads on this forum right now. To have a problem with Limewire is WAY out of the norm. Most people as you can see from these basic statistics, use Limewire just perfectly fine.

Limewire is a very successful application. A couple people, like yourself, experience problems, but we can almost always fix them.


Now, if you really want your program to work, you have to tell us what your problem is. Do you go to a doctor and say "I feel bad", and hope he figures out why? No. Similarly, you can't come here and say "Limewire doesn't work". If you sincerely want our help, please tell us your specs (as in, what kind of computer system you are running, OS, Limewire version, etc., etc.) and what exactly your problem is.

I thought I was crazy. Two weeks ago, I was able to download and then all of a sudden I couldn't open Limewire at all. Followed your instructions and it loaded up right away! Thanks!

I'm using a G5, running 10.3.1. Just bought LW PRO. When attempting to connect, the red "Connect" dot flashes to green for 1-2 seconds, and back to red. Have tried suggestions to delete prefs, to disable the tips dialog, to disable auto connect (and connect manually from the menu) - all to no avail. No connection. I've checked, and personal firewall protection is off. I'm really not sure if my ISP disallows gnutella connections, but I won't be able to verify this till tomorrow. Somehow, I don't think this is the problem. What gives?

lwuser999,
have you tried using a different port. go to Tools->Options->Advanced->Port and set the port to a different value (any value is fine - try 7000 or something). then try to connect.

thanks!

This fix seems to work well on Linux 2.4.23 (RH 9.0 base).

Thanks!
