Problem with results when searching
 

For the last couple of weeks my limewire has been refusing to find any of my file searches.
Once i click 'Search' the following message appears...

"Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network."

And this ends with NO results. No matter how many times i try and repeat or change the search i still have no results.

I've been using limewire for a couple of years now and have never come across this or any problem that has prevented me getting results during the past 2 weeks.

Can anyone help me?

Try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
(try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...) ;)

Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...;)

If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users.

Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...
