Default No results after search

I just got my Limewire OKed by my firewall to get that 'Limewire is currently connecting to the network' warning away, and when I searched something in, no results came up. I look in the 'Check here first' thread before I posted anything, but none of the things solved the problem. I'm not sure what is the problem.

I'm running a 20 inch intel mac with 10.4.11 and limewire 4.12.6

Do you see all green bars on the bottom left corner of LW's interface?

One green bar only means your LW is not connected to the gnutella network.

OSX does have its own firewall. Depends upon how you have it set; OSX Firewall settings for Tiger/Leopard; you can set it to allow all programs or specific programs.

For LW 4.16 you may need a fresh connection cache: If LW 4 Will Not Connect (click on the blue link); check other suggestions to try on that page also.

If still problems it might be related to your wireless set up & router.
