here's the Pro support link http://www.limewire.com/english/content/proform.shtml

did so, entered Limewire but nothing happend at all - apart from the folder name which shows in the header (X Limewire) which turns slowly slowly blue...
but no search result as such

Bizarre! Some part of java just won't display the screen results.

Hmmm--try changing the theme: Go to View->Apply Themes and choose, say, the LimeWire Pro theme. Repeat the search and see if a new theme will allow results to show.

tried this before and just did it again - no change at all
again, any search carried out on Video and AUDIO do not even start (Limewire button does not start to turn nor does the search name appear in the header) while all other searches start - without finding any documents

I passed this problem as you suggested to the Limewire support - lets see if they can help me in anyway.

Thanks a lot for your help - it is very much appreciated.

Good luck. Do post back with what you find. A friend looked this over who knows java and told me he had never heard of a connected client not able to display results.

btw--someone downloaded the magbay link again, and I showed an uploader who is still firewalled (browse button greyed out).

Cheers.

will do so as suggested - by the way, how can I ensure that I am not firewalled?
I went into sharing and it says "Firewall off" (it shows a Start button which I understand woudl start the firewall).
Anywhere else I need to look?

Cheers and then goodbye for now - my family is calling...

The airport base station settings would probably have something to open and block ports, but I've never configured one. Port 6346 should be "forwarded" i.e., to allow messages from outside to pass through the station to your computer. They are probably being blocked. You could scroll through the LimeWire Preferences->Bug Reports->View Example to find the line that says "Received incoming this session: true" (yours will show "false" if incoming connections are blocked).

Well late here too. Cheers

here the full text found in the bug report:
as you mentioned, the "received incoming this session was false" - whatever this means - you mentioned it should be "true", hence would you know what I need to change?

means that other computers have not been able to connect to you on port 6346. You can call out (you are connected)--they can't call in.

The fix is to open the firewall (done) AND set up the Airport base station which routes all calls to the appropriate machine (it's like a second firewall).

I'd guess you need to Configure the AirPort Admin Utility (found in the Utilities folder, right?)

I have found the Apple Airport base station to be unstable under high load. See my comment at the following thread:

Check if power cycling your airport makes a difference.
