hi everyone, im new here! Im having trouble with limewire. Ive typed something in the search field but it wont find anything! I have typed allsorts! what do i do???

ok there is a wall over the circle in the bottom right, so i had a look on my firewall settings and it says limewire has full access but i still cant get any results!

Is your LW fully connected (all green or blue connection bars)? If LW's connected, try the fixes below:

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, 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 kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things.
In case you're using Vista: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If LW isn't fully connected, please give us your details.

thankyou! its working now. just thought id ask though, what are those ip addresses ive added??? thankyou

They are known DUD hosts that you connect through. They will prevent you finding anything in searches.
They are there deliberately to try to cause problems for people who use p2p programs.

thankyou for your help!! much appreciated!
