We've released a Mac Classic 4.0.10. This release fixes some flaws.

You should upgrade.

Hi raidercats

Ouch--this advice is VERY rusty, but connection problems are often triggered by a bad list of possible connections.

Those connections are stored in a "gnutella.net", but I can't remember if LW for OS 9 has a file like that. Search these forums to find a replacement.

Such LW files are stored in the System Folder/Preferences (I think?). If so, you can replace it, when LimeWire is quit.

Also, if LW is trying to connect to many incompletes at once, this can stall connections. So, try to remove them (I can't recall preciselyhow that was done) and see if that helps.

Another possibility is to connect to a known LW directly. Does LW 4.0.10 have the "Direct Connect" option?

best wishes, and sorry for the vague reply.

Thanks it is a place to start. Nothing is vague when you have nowhere else to trun. I'll try your ideas. Thanks again.

Bummer it still says disconnected/no files available, at the bottom it says connecting so many of so many files. It says go and click on connect, connect is click and it won't let me search. What did I do wrong. Bummer. #$^& ((*^%^ ^&$%$T#$)

Hmmm. Did you find and replace the gnutella.net file, and/or delete the incompletes?

how do I go back to remove email?

click on the "edit" button for that post

Gnutella.net file did exist for OS 9 & is found in the limewire preferences folder.
Location is: Macintosh HD -> System -> Preferences -> .limewire __ (notice the . in front of the limewire name)
If you view the Preferences folder in 'list' mode, you will find the .limewire folder sitting at or near the top of the preferences folder. Inside the LW preferences folder you will find the gnutella.net file which should be replaced; The link below will take you to a file hosting site where you can download a file named gnutella.net.
zSHARE - gnutella.net
If that link doesn't work, try this other one. gnutella.net

LW MUST be closed when you do this! This is very important. :)

Thanks. I found the folder trash the file. Then went to both sites and at gnutella.net I join and downloaded what I needed it says it is in my file, but I'll be damn if I can find it to place it where it goes. I starting to think I have computer problems from running an old system. Thanks for help. but still no fix. I can't understand why it worked for so long and now it's broke. I have no problem going Pro, but am afarid if I did I would have the same problem. I am going to look into an up-grade. Any other thoughts please shoot them at me. Thanks again.
Still Confused
