Default Search Problem (no search results)

I've been having a problem with the "search" option at the main page. I type in the artist name, it looks like it is searching, but nothing shows up. It's ***** so something should show. I've never had this problem searching in the past.

I work off of Window XE, and have HSI (cable). Any ideas?

I have had the exact problem!! I had to re-install Limewire basic, and now it won't search, even for something that used to give me results. Is there anyone out there that knows why??

I just figured it out. You have to completely disable any type of virus or security suite software you have. I had McAfee Security Suite on there, and I had to completely turn off its firewall/virus safety settings so I could do searches. It worked!!

Your probably best not to disable you security as it will leave you unprotected and you should always scan your files before playing them...

You have the option to allow limewire within your suite...

Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center


These tips may help some of you as well....
