Default Cannot search, but Limewire connects

Hello.

I did search, but couldn't find anything regarding my problem, so forgive me if I missed anything.

Limewire connects fine, although the connection fluctuates from disconnected to poor, to excellent, and to turbocharged.

And no-matter what I search for, I get 0 results.
The "What's new" button returns nothing too.

I tried disabling/re-enabling OOB searching, but that made no difference.

I am behind a router, a D-Link one to be exact. I've tried enabling port 6346 (the default for limewire in it's settings), TCP, UDP, and both.
And I've also tried putting my computer in the DMZ temporarily for the sake of trying to get this to work.

The only thing I haven't tried yet, is bypassing the router completely, but that would mean killing 4 other pc's connections for the sake of troubleshooting which I can't do right now.

Is there something I'm missing or forgetting to do?

I've tried leaving limewire open for about an hour, and searching then, but it still doesn't seem to work.

And for the record, I have about 980 files shared... wether that makes any differece or not, I don't know.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

- Sarlok
