Default Search Results

Hi
I downloaded and Installed Lime Wire 4.13.2.When i do a search for a particular category, i see there is a progress bar for the same but even after a long time the search results are not displayed.Is it because of any connection problems.
Regards


Anand

Is your LW connection ok? How many green connection bars do you see?

If your LW is connected, see the thread here for some other ideas.
Blank results page

If you have a connection problem, check this sticky for info. Start off by making sure that you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured to allow LW.
Connection problems? Check here first!

If you're still stuck, please give us your details.

Is your LW connection ok? How many green connection bars do you see?
I see only one green Bar
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have?
Not sure whether it is turned on
3. How much ram?
0.99 GB of Ram
4. Hard Disk space available?
10.4 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
I am using the same software at home through broadband and getting results pretty quickly.But at my office it is pretty slow and no search results displayed.

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
Not sure
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?
From work place
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
4.13.2
Java 1.5.0_11

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?
It seems to be a proxy not sure how do i find
10. 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?
It shows the static test as mentioned by you 'Your test worked!'.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
Only at work place

I see the brick wall mentioned by you

There could be a firewall associated with the office's internet. You'll need to speak to whoever's in charge of internet at work & find out what the policy is on p2p use.
Many places won't let employees use p2p at work...make sure that you check it out

If you see the brick wall icon, that means that there's a firewall somewhere.
If there's no firewall enabled on your computer then the firewall's more than likely from within your office's setup. You must check this out with whoever's in charge of the workplace internet.
