when i try to search for a song a pop up box displays the message "Limewire is currently connecting to the network, your search may not return many results untill you are fully connected to the network" its been displaying that for about 15 mins everytime i try and search

No-one know? :-(

Leave LW running for at least 15 mins before you do anything. LW needs time to load incompletes & shared files & also to settle down after that.

I'm having the same problem, I got LimeWire and was downloading music, I left for a day and when I came I recieved that message and have not been able to download since. Also it says waiting for stable connection, it's the same connection I've had all along. Any suggestions?

Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
