the search doesnt work
 

i have just installed the newest version of liimewire and it works fine except when I try to search for something I get nothing and I get a bar on the top of were the search tabs are saying that only search results with a lock are official limewire communications and I get no results for what I am looking for. Can anyone please help?:blink:

:(

it still doesn't work
 

I have uninstalled and installed again and nothing. does anyone have any ideas? I even went in and deleted the directory like someone suggested and I lost all my music.:bangh: so please help!!!!

Me too!!!
 

OMG me too!!! Lately I have been searching for music and get NOTHING!!!! I'm so frustrated and don't have a solution but just wanted to share the suckiness. :bangh:

I'm having this problem too, and it's really screwing me over. Gah! Frustrations!

I figured out the problem! Go to your connections tab. (if you don't see the tab click on View, then Show/Hide and then Connections) Any server that starts with the numbers 204 blah blah blah is BAD. Remove it and Limewire will automatically detect a new one. Keep doing this repeatedly until all these bad servers are gone. You should be able to search again.

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.

Worked like a charm thanks. I was getting nothing but that fixed it. Is it a bug or something? I just installed this new version the other day.

OMG!!! Thank you so much!!! I've been struggling with this kind of problem for the longest time! I don't know if anyone else had this additional symptom, but, my Limewire kept telling me it was detecting a firewall when it wasn't searching. I tried every combination of deleteting and adding exceptions for the Windows firewall, and completely uninstalling my security software, but nothing helped! Nothing accept this! Thanks again!

hi thanks for the tip. I am doing that right now and well it is just going through alot of numbers. I am not all that computer savvy but should I be doing something else or should I just leave it alone?

hey does anyone know what to do about this message that pops up when I start to search for something. it says: only search results with a "lock" are offical limewire communications and then more info. does anyone know what this means? how can i get rid of it?

Oh My Goodness!!!!!! Thank You So Very Much I Have Finally Fixed It Now I Can Get My Music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

thank you so much for the tip. i was getting frustrated....

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. :cool:

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! :D

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… :cool:

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

Good Stuff Aaron..:idea:

"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..." Nice trivia but how can it be removed? Those of us that knows better don't need to be constantly hassled by a glaring eyesore.

There is no server listed in there in the first place. :confused:
