im having the same troubles.
i have the new limewire and on the connection bar in the bottom left corner is only reaching one, therefore i cant complete searches, and download music.
im in australia, and i dont know to many facts about our computer, except ive checked out any possibilities on our computer such as firewall issues, or the download speed on limewire, and everything seems to be in order.
I definitly think that it is a problem with the new limewire and not my computer.
Does anybody have any ideas????
