connecting problems
 

i can see incoming searches which tells me that i am at least communicating on the network, however i can not search for files, it says not connected. I have used limewire with great success in the past. whats the deal?

try reinstalling limewire, to uninstall you go to add/remove programs and uninstall there, than you delete the files, in the limewire folder, which is usually under program files. and the .limewire folder inside of documents and settings.
if this doesn't work mention if you have any firewalls or proxies
