When I try get on Lime Wire I only get one little green bar and all of my searches read: "Lime Wire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network."

Recently there's been a problem with people not providing enough details about their setup - despite being asked again & again.

So let's make it easy for everyone...the details that we need if we're going to be able to help with complex problems are:


1. Microsoft Windows XP (professional 2002)
2. Windows Firewall and also possibly Trend Micro Antivirus although I can't find options for it, everything related to the firewall is greyed out so I"m not sure if I have it or not. I also have spysweeper but I don't believe that program has a firewall in it.
3. 1.59 GHz, 896 MB of RAM
4. 14.8 GB
5. Cable
6. Ambit 60678EU
7. House
8. LimeWire 4.12.6 Java 1.6.0_01
9. ISP?
10. My test worked
11. no
12. this is my first problem with limewire, and i don't really know **** about computers
13. yes, the firewall icon is on, and stays on if i disable windows firewall also.

I think I might just need help figuring out how to deal with trend micro antivirus.... but we'll see, you guys know better than I do.

14. UPnP is enabled in lime wire but I dunno what port forwarding is. I have tried changing the port to 6404.. something or another just to see if that would help but it didn't.15. What security programs are you using

Also, I have always had trend and never had a problem with Limewire although it is possible this problem has arisen since updating my subscription/program.
