When LW eventually connects, is it a full connection or just a couple of bars?
You really should disable one of your firewalls, like I explained in your other thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...oads-help.html

If LW's fully connected, try the tips here:
1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it's ticked , untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.
Vista users: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If LW isn't fully connected, please try to find out the brand & model of your modem/router & the name of your ISP.
