I have just activated my account and installed Limewire. The installation was successful and I can access Limewire. However, I am not receiving any search results at all. What do I need to do?

In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

That didn't help. For some reason, it's not connecting when I log in. The connectivity bars stay red and don't change to green, so I can't seem to get connected.

same thing is happening to me! tried to change that option but it didnt work either?

I still show only one red bar which never changes to green bars...still can't connect. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Limswire, uninstalled and reinstalled Java and still nothing. I've also removed the firewall and still only one red bar. HELP?

I have the same problem, and have also tried the above with no success, what is going on?

Okay this is very easy to fix,

STEP 1. shut down limewire

STEP 2. DO NOT delete with your preferences folder, instead only delete gnutella.net file from that folder if your having this problem it should only be 1kb in size.

STEP 3. download zSHARE - gnutella.net (this is your new gnutella.net file)

STEP 4. put the new gnutella.net file in your preferences folder (notice it is around 20kb in size)

STEP 5. restart computer, start limewire (if it doesn't connect right away, wait a couple of minutes)

let me know if this fixes the problem.
