Detecting a firewall that doesn't exist
 

I can't connect to Limewire, as of tonight. It says it is detecting a firewall, and I assume that's why it won't connect. It says "connecting" and only has one green bar. Literally nothing has been changed since I used the system on Monday without a problem connecting. There is no router, it plugs directly into my cox cable modem. I have windows firewall turned off and no virus protection.

Please help. I upgraded to the most recent version to try and fix (I was using 14.12. Or something like that. Anyways, it won't connect in either version and I tried some of the steps to fix connecting. Does anyone have any experience with this and know how to fix it? Any help would be much appreciated.

Try replacing the gnutella.net file whilst LW is CLOSED! LW must be closed; If LW Will Not Connect (click on the blue link) :)

Thanks for the suggestion. Where/how do I replace it?

I'm actually going to look at your link instead of being a retard poster and asking stupid questions you answered in your link.

Thanks

Neither of those links work for me. Says cannot find page when I actually click to download. THere is no gnutella.net file in my folder.

Hi,
Replace the Gnutella.net file
Try this:- (you must show all hidden files)
[1] Open windows explorer (windows XP SP2) select Tools à select Folder Options à select View à select Show hidden files and folders.
[2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder – go here:
c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire
(or)
c:\documents and settings\username\limewire
[3] Ensure that limewire is completely off (check that it isn't in the system tray-bottom right-if it is click on it and select exit) now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file
If you don't find a gnutella.net file dont panic - go to para [4] and cont
[4] download a new version from (here) and save it to yr desktop
[5] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder.
[6] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire
