i downloaded limewire yesterday. it worked perfectly. better than it had on any previous computer i'd had it on before. then later yesterday, it wouldn't connect like it is now, but i exited and reconnected and it did. now today, no matter what i do, i can't get more than one green bar in the lower left hand corner. i've done what i did yesterday, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled, all multiple times. i'm downloading things i've previously selected still, but i can't search for anything. i can't get it to work. at all. can anyone help?

i'm using a brand new Dell laptop.
i'm using a wireless internet connection.
i have a mcafee firewall that is already allowing full access to limewire.

i need help. fast. please. anyone?
