No search button
 

I downloaded limewire last night and i downloaded a couple of songs. Now when i connect to the internet and click on lime wire, I get the page but there is no search button. when i click on connect nothing happens...help!

You need to wait a little longer before you complain about not being able to connect. If you have this problem for more that 3 or 4 days, then reply back.

Limewire used to work great (I have Basic version 3.6.15, running on Mac OS X Panther), but now whenever I open it it says "Disconnected/No Files Available" on the top of the window. This has been happening for about 5 days now. Any thoughts or ideas at all???

download the latest beta. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml

I downloaded the new version (very nice), but I am still having the same problem. Now a message comes up that says "your machine does not appear to have an active internet connection, or a firewall is blocking Limewire from accessing the internet." I don't really know anything about firewalls, but I found the settings in system preferences and thought I fixed all the settings so it would work and then clicked on "connect" from the file menu in LW, but nothing happened.
help?

You need to find out if you have a firewall or not. If you do you need to force your IP and open port 6346 or allow the application: "javaw.exe". Good luck.

thanks a lot, now LW is connecting... but only sometimes. and all the other times it just says "connecting" in the bottom left hand corner for a long time, and then disconnects itself. i still haven't been able to download anything, because it only stayed connected long enough for me to do one search.
