 For those who can't connect For those who are having trouble connection to the Gnutella network using LimeWire, we have a potential fix. You need to delete your WHOLE LimeWire preferences directory. The directory can be found in the following locations: OS X: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire Windows: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire Linux: ~/.limewire Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, delete the whole directory, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect. I'd love to hear how this works for everyone. Thanks! Susheel Daswani Software Engineer Lime Wire LLC  |

 one more thing.... One side effect of this potential fix is that you'll lose ALL your preferences. You'll need to reset them. For most users this shouldn't be too huge a deal..... If you really want you can keep the deleted directory around and simple move your limewire.props file to the new directory, but this may invalidate the fix. We will hopefully discover what is causing this issue and integrate an automated fix in a future version. |

| shutting down limewire I'm sorry to hear this method isn't working for people. One thing: are you positive you 1) completely closed limewire (this means making sure that the limewire icon is not residing in your system tray, dock, etc.) and then 2) deleted the appropriate directory and then 3) restarted LimeWire? I should have made step 1 more clear - you need to make sure LimeWire is totally shutdown before attempting this fix. Thanks! Susheel |
