Try deleting the LW preferences folder (while LW is closed). Instructions in here:

when i first downloaded limewire i had problems connecting so i configured my firewall settings. then however the programme did not find any results for the subjects i have asked for. the lime logo in the corner did spin whilst the search was being carrie dout but no results. i deleted the preferences folder and restarted but this has not helped either. i then read that disabling the tip box when limewire is launched could also help but this has not worked!!!
if anyone knows what the problem maybe could the please get in touch!!! thank you!

The same is happening to me. I have just DLed Limewire, version 4.10.5. I had trouble iwth java so i DLed the offline installation. Then Limewire can now be opened. But when I search, ZERO RESULTS!!! At the bottom part, it said that Limewire has detected a firewall. But I have no firewall. I deactivated Windows Firewall a;ready and restarted.

Oh the OS is Windows XP and I just use dial-up.
