Unhappy You are currently connecting to the network

I've been using limewire for a long time and its been working fine. Two days ago i downloaded the newer verison 4.12.14. And Since then it just keeps saying you are currently connecting to the network.

I have:
Microsoft Window XP Professional
Verision 2002
Service Pack 2

Intel(R)
Pentium (R)4 CPU 2.00GHz
1.99 GHz, 384MB of RAM

I tried the http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ and it says Your test worked.
And i also checked to see if in my firewall under expections and i have a check mark on both Gnutella.

Please help

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

If still no good, can you answer these: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

1. User Cant Connect - LimeWire

2. Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

Probably a firewall issue then.

But sometimes Java 1.6 doesn't work well on some people's systems with a particular LW version. So using the Add/Remove control panel to remove all Java versions & then install this version fixes it: Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

BTW have you defragmented your computer recently?

I have the same problem. I did everything "Lord" told me to do. When I got to the part that says I needed a login and password it would take.
I even reinstalled my Internet service.

I have the same problem as "disneygirl2000". I followed all your instructions. When I got to the part where I have to give a log in a password it would accept any of the "hundreds" I tried. I even reinstalled my Internet.
I new at this posting thing and I'm not even sure I've posted to the right place.

Log into what ? Your router ? Your computer account? Your internet service?

I wad trying to do the port forwarding and one of the instructions was to put my IP in a web browser. When I did that a window popped up and it said to put in a log in and password. I found a suggestion for "admin" and password blank. I tried my personal passwords for access to my computer. They didn't work either. Would Mazilla Foxfire have blocking capabilities in it?

See post #2 above about the system details, if you can answer that I can help you more. Most brands of routers use the same default password. Often it is Admin but might be something else, depending on brand and model.
