Search button will not activate
 

I hate it when I download something and it does not work and just stares at me. I can not get the thing to search. I punched every button. Search button stays off no matter what I do. Does this one go on the crap heap too?

i had the same problem with the search button. it's my first time using limewire and i'm wondering what i'm doing wrong. Please help

In order to search, you must be connected to the network. Since you can't search, LimeWire is clearly not connected.

Are you connected to the internet before you start LimeWire?

Have you tried the telnet test?

telent router4.limewire.com 6346

(You can type this in at the command prompt (DOS box) in most windows variants) - You should get a "gnutella OK" response - this indicates you can connect to the network.

Otherwise - provide full details of Operating system, version of Java, version of LimeWire, internet connection type, any firewall or router.
