LimeWire is currently connecting to the
network. Your search may not return
many results until you are fully connected
to the network.

That is the message i get when I try to browse for a song (I just got my ipod today so I'm new at this hang in there with me!!) does everyone get that and it just takes a day or so until it lets me search for songs because even when I click ok to that message nothing shows up in my search. Sorry I'm so clueless I just need help!

UPDATE: Ok it's been like two hours and it still is not working help?

Depending on your computer etc, it takes up to 20 minutes for you to get properly connected. Usually it is far quicker than that, but you should wait until you see "excellent connection, or at least "good" in the bottom left corner of Limewire before searching. Make sure that you have a good connection,or excellent , but if it never gets beyond poor, let us know.

I hope this helps

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)

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 (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
