You could try deleting the LW preference folder (instructions in link):

Here are instructions for port forwarding with Limewire:

Let us know if you have any luck

P.S. I seem to recall some people having trouble with Norton. Have you allowed LW access through your Firewall? If these fixes don't work, perhaps you could try uninstalling Norton and see if you have better luck. Make a backup copy, first, if you don't have one.

i've tryed the fixes and im not going to delete norton its the only firewall i have my friends use norton and there limewire is fine is there anything else you could suggest?

Windows XP has a firewall, too. Have you turned this off? You shouldn't have two firewalls running, anyway, since they can interfere with each other. Besides that, I don't think I can make any more suggestions. I'm not the greatest help with connection problems.

Good Luck

Dan

turn your MS firewall off uninstall LW, Reboot and, making sure your firewall is off (MS) install LW, Once installed, make sure you have more than 1 bar showing. If not, select file, connect.
Guaranteed, it will be the FIrewall, I had Norton and had to unistall, I installed, PC Tools free firewall as well as the MS Vista and mines works fine. You may have to unistall the Norton, but try the info I gave first and unistall as a last resort.
