I went through some of the pages and tried some of the methods again and I still got nothing to work. I am on XP and my isp is AOL. I don't know what a proxy setting is so if I need to change that could you please be a little bit more specific than you would with other people that understand that jargon. Also, when I go to do a search I get this message:

"Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network."

I have the basic version of limewire. Please somebody tell me what I am doing wrong before I throw my computer out of a window!!!!
