Default Disconnected?

I have been using Limewire for several months now. It has been working fine up until now. It has started to give me a message to the effect that it is still connecting when I try to run a search. It will not return any search results and then quickly disconnects me from the network. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

Configure firewalls such as XP firewall here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml
