I'm struggling to get my Limewire session connected, keep getting message in the bottom right of the app saying "Starting Connection", which doesn't ever change. All my searches return nothing, can search but can't find a single tune. I think I need to connect 1st but how?

Any ideas why I cannot connect, would be appreciated?

I'm on Vista with Zonealarm firewall

Many thanks

Several months ago this seemed to be a big problem. Hasn't been brought up for awhile. Try the fix below and if no solution then offer up your system details as there could be other issues.
You might also try the Forum Search Function to find more info on the LW + Vista + ZA issues.

This has worked for a few Vista users: Uninstall LW (start > all programs > LW > uninstall) & ZA. Now reinstall LW first. Finally, reinstall ZA. Installing LW before ZA seems to be the trick
Double check that the Windows firewall's off.

In LW file > disconnect. Wait 10 minutes, then file > connect.

Finally, after all this time I have Limewire working....WOW!!!!

Thanks Remoc for all your help, really appreciated.

Hi, I have the same problem. I cant download any new songs with this new version but with last limewire version on vista I could. What is ZA?

ZA (Zonealarm) is just a firewall.

If you've upgraded recently, maybe you should try what I have. Uninstall your Limewire & firewall(s), then re-install LW & then your firewall afterwards. This could solve your problem. It did mine! Good luck
