alright i did everything, but when i opened the LW folder there was no gnutella file but i went ahead and slipped then newly downloaded one in there and still only one bar

Problem solved by uninstalling original LW (start > all programs > limewire > uninstall) > reinstalling LW using the offline installer > replacing gnutella.net file > rebooting computer.

I followed the instructions above with removing the limewire folder, copying the gnutella and pasting and it worked. Im connected. Thank you so much

Thanks to the above posts I was able to fix LW too (had trouble finding the folder that had to be deleted)

Thx!

Birdy-you fixed it! Thanks so much!!!
