Another way to check a bad server is by clicking on the server and then clicking browse host. If you get an error msg, remove the server.

I am new to LimeWire. Recently, I do not get any search results. Could someone tell what I should do. I tried following the above instructions to correct the problem, but I'm still not getting any search results. Thank you.

Try it again...http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...58&postcount=6

If it still doesn't work try these fixes...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down)
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder...

That message is just to warn you about a bogus update that shows up in most search results...It reads something like Important limewire update install now...So the developers thought that if they put the message about the padlock for people to see it would stop them from downloading this virus...

So it's not in relation to any other file just the LW update one....

Or you better check your anti spyware system installed on your pc, it might have blockes some new applications.

What's the rest of that IP address? I want to make be sure that the proper range is
blocked in The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire.

I have 2292 blocks on the 204 range already but those critters may have
tried to evade the blocks since I updated it last week.

Aaron these where the numbers that another poster had listed and blocked...
204.11.219.225
204.11.219.226
204.11.219.227
204.11.219.229
204.11.219.231

Yep, that's a Peak Web Hosting rack. There are two ranges to block, just so
those hostile servers have to move to another hosting provider before trying
again. Naturally whenever I find a spammer or other hostile on a commercial
rack I block that whole rackspace provider permanently. I had their 204 range
blocked already but this info just led to a new 8.4.34-35 range when I
checked them again.

Good tip! Thanks!

These are the three formats most firewalls use. The first is PG, the second is
a typical address/mask typical of most firewalls [and BearShare or LimeWire
4.13] and the third is the straight CIDR style.

Peak Web Hosting:204.11.216.0-204.11.223.255
204.11.216.0/255.255.248.0
204.11.216.0/21

Peak Web Hosting:8.4.34.0-8.4.35.255
8.4.34.0/255.255.254.0
8.4.34.0/23

I think I'll run a worldwide search on "hosting". Might as well jump a step
ahead on these racks instead of waiting for new hostiles to pop up. I already
do "colocation" globally every month…

…Not bad. 170 hits on that "hosting" search. Time to pump out an update! ;]
