HELP! Limewire was working perfectly. Now the connection quality is at one bar. "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network"

I get NO results. I am running on Windows XP. Mcaffee is my security system.

How the heck to I get back and connected?

Your help is appreciated.

I cannot connect as well, It says currently connecting to network and does not ever give me the "your signail is very stong" like it used to. Ive tried connecting and disconnecting over and over again. Can ANYONE HELP!!! Or is this Limewires way of getting me to upgrade! What is realy going on?

guitarslinger7- Thanks for your post. I am not alone. If we upgrade and get Pro will our problems be solved? Heck it is worth the $13.95.... they lower the price on a second screen, after I say NO one time.

Lou

Same thing is happening to me
Grrr it's killing me

After an update I cannot have a connection with the network. I 've done a lot of things, nothings helps. Who's helping me????

All of you, try the advice here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-fix-try.html
Start off by deleting LW's preferences folder & changing Java versions.

In case you have Vista, things are a bit different to XP when finding the preferences folder & other files/folders within Application Data. This thread should help with that: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If nothing there helps, please give us your details.
System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

I have tried everything. I deleted and reloaded Java. I checked my firewall.

Is this a scam by limewire to get me to upgrade to limewire pro?

If I pay the $13.95 for pro, will I be able to connect.

This is beyond frustrating. I was surfing on limewire and now

I AM STILL STUCK AT ONE BAR CONNECTION.

Please let me know if I pay, will it work correctly?

thanks
Lou

me too....
Ive tried everything....
so frustrating...

Lou88888888,

Which version of Java did you try...the latest update, or the older archived version? Did you remove all existing Java versions before installing another one?

After you deleted the preferences folder & started LW, did you have to go through the LW setup wizard again?
Did you also look for a preferences folder in the old location of C:\Documents and Settings\your username\.limewire (not a hidden folder)?

Did you make sure that LW was properly closed when you deleted the preferences folder & also when you replaced the gnutella.net file? Did you also try uninstalling LW, reinstalling & then relpacing the gnutella.net file (as raffles did in the thread I linked to)?
If you reinstall LW, make sure to use the offline installer. When you click to download LW, cancel the dialog box which pops up & use the option to download the offline installer.
To uninstall LW, go start > all programs > limewire > uninstall. Don't uninstall via add/remove programs.

If basic LW isn't working, don't buy Pro!!

Hey Birdy,

I thank you for your help. You say "Did you make sure that LW was properly closed when you deleted the preferences folder & also when you replaced the gnutella.net file?"

What and where is the gnutella.net file? I have not seen any reference to this anywhere else.

I am pretty sure I am going to give up on Limewire. The internet and music should be a FUN place to be...

Limewire is nothing but frustration and anger.

Macaffee keeps autmatically updating my firewall with new downloads... so that is not going to change.

I tried removing the old java and installing the Java 1.5 - as I was told to do.... what happened? Limewire would not open with 1.5 ERROR and said it needed 5.0 or higher to even open.

I did all the steps, jumped through the hoops. Unistalled, reinstalled and what happened.... NOTHING> >>>>>>> I still have one bar and cannot sign on to limewire.

Does limewire have a phone number for me to talk to a live human? Obviously I am not able to get back online. LOL

Does anyone have a completely different site for me to look at?

I surrender. I think it is best I just give up.

Limewire.... after working on this for more then 10 hours I am just more angry.
