Gnutella Forums - currently connecting to network

Hi folks

So I'm new to limewire after a friend kept going on about it and WOW - awsome and happily downloading however occasionally I get the following error message "Limewire is currently connecting to network, your search mayt not return many results until fully conected"
Now I'd be online a few mins earlier - downloaded a few songs and disconnected from net - then though - how about such and such a track - open limewire and that message comes up. Internet connection seems to be Ok - emails getting through sdo whats ther problem.

I clicked onto wifes account on PC - and no problems. It seems tro clear itself eventaully - like next day.

running Vista and Norton 360 - nothing been altered in either security/firewall settings and worked initially anyway
thanks
