I just uploaded the newest version. I did locate my previous library after a very long five minutes of believing it to be gone! However, I cannot searh. I type in the artist, click search, and the tab opens at the top, but nothing is found. I've waited fifteen minutes, searched several different artists that I know are in limewire, and nothing. Help please!! I would very much like to search and download.

Thanks!!!

try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
(try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...)

Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...
Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users.

Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...
