Hello,
I am doing a research on LimeWire and I want to create a p2p network of 10 computers without connecting to the internet. I understand that limewire connects upon startup to a peer online that is part of the Gnutella network of LimeWire... Is it possible for me to create a p2p limeWire network with 10 computers on a private LAN ? How could I do that? LimeWire supposidly has no servers, its a pure peer-to-peer architecture, how can I start my own p2p network in that case? without accessing the internet.. Can some1 help??

The developers can probably give the best advice, so try posting your question here

How Gnutella and LimeWire Work - LimeWire Forums

There are some old threads around that discussed your situation before, but perhaps a dev will be able to give you a better and more recent answer.

Cheers
