I really need some help......you may have to bear with me as I am particularly un-technical and am having problems connecting to limewire.
I have downloaded successfully and have a brick wall in front of the globe in the bottom left hand corner. I have tried everything in the help menu(unlikely, but I think so) I have even gone as far as turning off the firewall and that has not worked.
