New User - Can't Connect
 

Installed LimeWire no problem. However when I open the programme it just keeps saying "connecting" at the bottom left of the screen. Quality: "Connecting". Have been on line for 2 hours on a broadband connection! Surely shoud be quicker than this!!
Have changed all firewall settings etc.
Can you help please??

It's best to only have one active firewall!
