Limewire won't connect

Hello, I installed limewire on edgy just like I've done a hundred time before on Dapper/Breezy but this time It won't connect to the network. It says you are currently connecting to the network forever. The only thing that has changed is going from Dapper to Edgy. I have a Window$ box with 'lime installed and it works. My Limewire Linux is set for upnp and so is my router, a Linksys WRT54gl

Re: Limewire won't connect

I just snagged this from the LimeWire user forum and it fixed my stuff
For those who are having trouble connection to the Gnutella network using LimeWire, we have a potential fix. You need to delete your WHOLE LimeWire preferences directory. The directory can be found in the following locations:

OS X:
/Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Linux:
~/.limewire

Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, delete the whole directory, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect.

I'd love to hear how this works for everyone.

Thanks!
