Angry Limewire used to work... but now it doesnt

when ever i try to connect there is only one green bar. It stays that way. I restart my computer, made sure my firewall isnt blocking it, clicked that link on this site and it says you are connected. So I dont know what to do.

Default Same Problem!!!

It was working last week. Now, when I try to search, no results pull up. Do you have the same issue? The globe keeps spinning, but still no results!

Can anyone help?

I have the same problem man. It still works on my brother's account on the computer however, it's weird.

I've made sure its not the firewall, and everything else I've checked, it just has 1 green bar. I leave it up forever, but it stays at 1 bar. It was working fine a week ago.

my details:
Win XP
LW:4.9.27 (should i update?) & Java version: i dont know
Firewall you're using: windows?
Modem/router brand & model: microsoft i dont know
ISP
Connection type: Cable
Where you connect from: home
Are you sharing a connection with other computers: what does that mean exactly? i only have 1 computer at my house
Is this your first try with LW: no

Have you changed your version of LW?

If not, what version of LW are you using?

Do any of you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? If yes, see the main sections here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link). How many green bars do you see?

(see sample attachment image below)

Hey, I totally know what you mean. I have my computer upstairs, and my brother's computer downstairs. Limewire works on his computer, but it doesn't work on mine? Limewire has never worked for me, what should I do?
