How is your internet connection? You can tell how well of a connection you have in the bottom left hand corner of the LimeWire screen. Sometimes if it's a poor connection you won't get any search results.

We need more info to help. Please post any relevant info. Do your connections look anything like these. If you do not have a connections tab you can find under View<Show/Hide<connections just press it

oh my god yes! the little bars at the bottom left look just like the first of the attached files! the first one is blue and the other ones are red! does this mean the connection is bad? what can i do about it ? please help, and i also got the little icon with a brick wall is that bad too?
thank you!

The brick wall suggests a firewall that is not properly configured. That could be your software firewall or modem/router. Tips:
1. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

2. Make sure your modem/router is configured for UPnP to counter the NAT firewall they have. Else if your device doesn't support upnp or doesn't give reliable upnp support then manual port forward is the trick. See the different sections regarding this here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

See above for active links (Vea arriba para los acoplamientos activos):
La pared del ladrillo sugiere un cortafuego que no se configure correctamente. Ése podía ser su cortafuego del software o modem/router. Extremidades: 1. Usted configuró su cortafuego así que no prohibe a LW el acceso completo (recomendable no tener 2 cortafuegos activos b/c pueden interferir con uno a); Instrucciones de la configuración del cortafuego (chasque encendido el acoplamiento) 2. Cerciórese de que su modem/router esté configurado para que UPnP contradiga el cortafuego NACIONAL que él tiene. si su dispositivo no apoya el upnp ni lo hace dé la ayuda confiable del upnp entonces que delantero portuario manual es el truco. ¿Vea las diversas secciones con respecto a problemas de esta aquí conexión? ¡Compruebe aquí primero!

Wow, now I'm really impressed LOTR, even fluent in Spanish......you're one of a kind

LOTR_: thanks so much for those links (and for your spanish response ) But one thing before i do it: will changing the firewall configuration affect anything else in the computer or for the other users? and my sister has bearshare in her user, will it affect it in some way?
sorry but im very insecure when it comes to computer issues and i dont wanna mess anything up
