Looks like you can't accept incoming connections (like chat).

You still should have been able to Browse Host. Were you able to watch the progress of the download ?

Anyway, to check if your firewall is blocking incoming gnutella traffic, go to Apple Menu->System Preferences->Sharing->Firewall->New, then scroll through the list until you can choose "Gnutella/LimeWire (6346)"

When checked, that will allow your computer to receive incoming connections. Your downloads and uploads should be much better too.

(Still, that shouldn't stop you from getting search results)

Are you tired of this yet?

Cheers

Thanks for all your timely help.... I'm soooo tired of this as well.
Did all you suggested and then quit and relaunched LW only to recieve the same dissapointment. We don't need to solve this tonight.

Thanks a million!

Sorry we couldn't find a quick fix.

Sometime, consider doing the regular safe boot/repair permissions .

The other setting you can try is the checkbox in the Preferences->Advanced->Force IP

cheers.

Ok... this may help, I don't understand any of it of course but you might. I launched LW tonight and a window poped up notifying me of a internal error, so I selected revew and this is what I got.

Hi
I can't read bug reports very well, but it does show up as #6 on the bug tracking page
http://bugs.limewire.com/bugs/home.jsp
All the others like it come from Panther users, (and one LINUX), so it's not just your setup. 15 others reported it too. If you happened to notice what steps trigger it, do post those details.

Hope you were able to get browse host working, and the safe boot/permissions fixed something.

I'll check back tomorrow.

Cheers

I still have no search results and the bug report pops up upon launching LW.

I am having the same problem. 10.3.2 and the last two versions of Limewire, plenty of network activity but no search results

Lime Wire support told me to up date to 10.3.3, delete limewire and all related files and ailias, reboot computer and reinstall LW. I did and I am still having the same problem????????????

I have done all suggested too and still the same result

Hi again--and welcome too Trevor.

ebene, Pro support is right. Since something is wrong, starting fresh with the all the updates is a good idea.

Did you both deinstall the old LimeWire folders in the preferences (click on the desktop, and use the Finder's Find command to search for any file containing the term "limew"). This will find all the old preferences so you can move/trash them and start from scratch again. This means you'll need to reset all your preferences again, but that is also good.

I still don't know if you repaired permissions after doing a safe boot. Please clarify.
