Close LW. Make sure that it’s properly closed by opening Task Manager (ctrl/alt/del) & click on the Processes tab. If there’s a LW process running, end the process.


Have you downloaded the gnutella.net file? If not, this link will take you to a file hosting site where you can download the file named gnutella.net.

zSHARE - gnutella.net
If that link doesn't work, try the link below.
gnutella.net

Download that file & save it to your computer. Remember where you save the file to.

If you're using XP, look below.

Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > click on the View tab > put a dot in the circle next to ‘show hidden files and folders’ > apply > ok.

Go to Start > My Computer > Documents and Settings > the folder with your username > Application Data. Look for a folder named LimeWire. This folder named LimeWire is your preferences folder. You need to open the LimeWire folder by double clicking on it.

Once you’ve opened the LimeWire folder, look for a file named gnutella.net (or it may be named gnutella). Delete that file. Leave the LimeWire folder open.
If there’s no file named gnutella.net or gnutella, don’t panic...you can put one into the folder.

Go & find the gnutella.net file that you downloaded earlier. Copy that gnutella.net file & paste it into the open LimeWire folder.

Close all folders, restart your computer & then start LW.

If you're using Vista, you'll need to look for your preferences folder in a different place. Try C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire
