connection problems??
 

I am on windows xp home edition, I just recently installed lime wire and when I start a search I get the message "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. You search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network" It appears that a search is in progres, but never any results, even with "Country" as a genre being my only parameter.
I have added the connections Tab to my headers and added predefined IPs recomended in another thread. When I manually add the IP, initally they show connecting and just a few connection seconds before dropping.
Thanks for any help
