birdy is my new hero.

I had all these problems and was ready to shoot my computer. If followed birdy's advise and I'm sound as a pound. Bless you birdy.

Hi lwftl&w,

Yes, delete the whole LimeWire folder that's within Application Data. Make sure LW's closed first Once that folder's deleted...start LW & it'll take you through the setup wizard again. If it doesn't connect, restart your computer & then start LW again.

If there's still no connection, try replacing that gnutella.net file which lives inside the LimeWire folder (no need to delete that prefs folder again). Post #8 of this thread tells you how to do that.

Birdy. I love you.
I deleted the limewire folder. started limewire. It didnt connect, so i restarted my computer, tryed lw again. Still no connection.
So i hoped to post #8, followed them instructions. But there was no gnutella.net file inside the lw folder. So i just put the gnutella.net that i downloaded into the limewire folder.
And whata know. Bob's your uncle it worked.

Oh wow !!
LW's been doing my head in this week, as it wouldn't connect.
I followed all Birdys' tips & it's working !!
Thanks so much...ur fab !!

BIRDY/
Uninstalled LW, unistalled old Java & added new, re-installed new LW, still NO connection. Re did same , deleted & added NEW Gnutella. Went to my comp, documents, appl. data folder, & NO LIMEWIRE in folder!
I re cehceked & LW is in system, under exceptions in AVG security, listed in programs, but NOT after I dbl clicked thre appl. data folder! Still one green bar & rest red. Also says "sharing 0 files".
Did I miss a step somewhere?

I'm not sure what's happened, but if you're using a version of LW newer than 4.9.34 then you must have a LimeWire folder somewhere. You would've put the gnutella.net file inside the LimeWire folder, so it must be there!
What version of LW are you using?

Try starting again from scratch...restart your computer & then go through the steps in this link: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post296950

my lw won't find any track's to be able to download them i've tryed deleted it nd then reinstalling it but it dnt wrk

I have followed all of birdy's instructions too with no luck. my limewire has not been able to connect recently but i have not changed anything. all my firewall settings are fine and all my software is updated. i have a mac and i've never had issues with LW connection before. help??

I have had no problem for ever, then about 3 weeks ago I was unable to connect.
I went through all the drills and still no luck.
I emailed limewire and they will not respond.
Any advise, my isp said maybe the download is corrupt.
