Always Disconnected
 

Whenever I use Limewire Gnutella and am connected (green button), message states "Disconnected" at lower status bar. I have a 56k modem. All my hosts show "Connecting....", but never get connected, so no files are ever available to download. I have a total of 4 connections with a maximum of 2 connections up at once. My preference for autoconnect hosts over discovered hosts is checked. Three months ago I was able to get between 150 to 600 connected hosts at any given time. What's the problem and how do I fix it?
