Default why? (can't find songs I'm searching for)

ok so after not using limewire for about a a month i went on again to download some songs. For some reason the songs i want wont show up...Well i thought they weren't on limewire at first but then i asked my friend to search the same song and he came up with it. Why doesnt my limewire come up with the songs i want. there are like 10 songs that i cant find on limewire why is this?

also how do i chat wiht people? i right click on the things and press "chat with host" but nothing comes up. Also is that the only way i can chat?

oh ya whats the brick wall in front of the blue world?

The Brick wall means you are behind a firewall and that could be the reason your searches are not comming up with the results you want...

The Chat function only currently works in the Beta version and if you are running the Beta the firewall could be blocking your ability to chat...

Could you supply these details please and we will see if we can get you connected properly...

It would more than likely be your Linskys router that is causing the firewall you are seeing, as they have them built in...
So if you turn the router upside down it will tell you the model number for it...That way I can give you the instructions to Port Forward...

Also with McAfee is it the security suite or just the firewall....

thanks a lot works now!!!

but i still cant find the songs i want and when i do they are WMA and for some reason those dont play on my computer, i mean WMA works i play songs on it all the time but the WMA from from limewire dont work only mp3 works and WMA doesnt work on my psp......

if i cant find them does that mean that no one has put them up??? i mean these dudes are pretty famous.....

maybe there is something about the settting i have to change or something?? I cant find any songs that i want this is soo wierd it was working before

Like right now i searched " The Game- Power House" and not only did i get no resault with that name i got rolling stones??? wtf?? and a lot of other things that have nothing to do with the game....

i mean like i found some their other songs but not this one, is it because no one has put these up?
