Now my problem is i've been using Limewire for a lot of years and never had a problem untill just recently after i reformated. When limewire loads it does everything correctly but the starting connections stays red. When i go to view connections I don't even see Limewire trying to connect to peers or networks. Has anyone ever had this problem before or know how to fix it? Also I've never had to configure my router or anything its always worked for 2+ years without a problem.
