I have used limewire for years and I recently bought a new computer and downloaded Limewire 5.1.4 but where it would normally show the connection bars I just have the word connecting. I have tried all the "solutions" on the Limewire support but still nothing. I have checked all firewalls that I am aware of and accepted limewire. I went under advanced tools and looked at connections and it says...
You are a Leaf node
You are behind a firewall and do not support firewall transfers.

It is trying to connect to 9 different hosts but no success. I am on the free internet that my motel supplies so the only thing I can possibly think would be causing the problems is them. However my sister's laptop connected when we used it before I got mine. I have no idea what to do.
