Thanks! Deleting the prefs folder fixed it for me...

Why hello there!
 

Hi I'm Scott, and I live in Manchester, U.K. And I guess it will come as no surprise that I'm having technial difficulties with Limewire! I can't seem to connect to network all of a suden. I have windows Vista. Anyone have that same dilemma in the past and can help? :yikes:

Ok. A ton of people with many types of PC’s are experiencing this same problem, which leads me to believe that this is a Limewire problem. I’ve read the threads and I’ve tried everything. I just paid money for this and I just want it to work. What’s the deal Limewire?
“Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network.”

Initializing stops at 19% - loading messages
 

Deleting the preference folder worked perfectly to fix this problem.
Thank you

im having the same prob, turned all firewalls of deleted bits added bits im sick of it if i new of another file share id use it, ive used lw for yrs on xp ive had a new laptop with vista and now nothing aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
stupid lw,

Yeah, It's not the pref folders or Java or the firewall. I even went through my email and downloaded LWpro on my other laptop which has XP on it, went through all of the steps and still nothing.
I'm starting to think maybe it's my wireless network. We have free city-wide wireless here in New Orleans provided by Earthlink. (Featherwifi.net) It's worked fine for a while but maybe they started blocking it or something. I'm gonna go try the coffee shop and if that doesn't work then that's everything I can think of.

This worked PERFECTLY! Thank you VERY much Grandpa!
