Not so much a "getting started" question as I know what I'm doing with the program, only I'm a little confused. I have been using Limewire for the past couple of years and it has worked fine with the occasional problem with connecting. But now, it seems as though it just doesn't want to connect at all. Once it does connect, it works fantastically. But it seems now that 9 times out of 10 I just can't get connected to the network and it's starting to get on my nerves. I know it isn't a firewall problem, of that I am certain. Just wondering if anyone else has found this? If so, any solutions?? It may be something really simple as I just literally connect, download what I want then disconnect, so I am hardly an expert! Let me know what you guys think!

I am also having problems. Like you, I have been using it for ages with no problems. Now I can´t even get a connection. It just stays at one bar saying connecting. I have even tried up grading to the new version which has made no difference, but has cost me money - gutted!. I have done all the troubleshooting that it tells me to do, and there is no problems with my firewall, so please if there is someone out there who can fix this problem, let me know. Thanks

Try the points in this thread, Especially the part called "REPLACE gnutella.net FILE"

Thankyou so much. I read the info and downloaded the new version of Java, and it works brilliantly. So fast.
