Default I Can't Get Any Results I Need Help!!

Hi! I Just Got My Computer Fix And Got A New Nano Ipod And I Want To Get Songs Than Waiting To Get Money To Buy Them. When I Downloaded Limewire Yesterday When I Put In A Song A Message Appeared Saying That I Wasn't Going To Get As Many Results As I Should Becuase I Was Still Connecting To My Network. Than I Went To Files And Saw I Was Connected. I Only Have One Firewall On Which Is My Windows. My Connection Is All Red Accept A Little Bar Which Is Green. Please Tell Me What I Should Do

It means you are not properly connected. For a start, after opening LW you should wait for a few mins before using. Up to 10 mins.

for them to help you you need to give them as much info as possible so filling in the info on the blue link is essential as it could be something really silly or more complex and they know their wotsits about limewire put the questions into word then put your answers on it and then paste it back into the forum reply box

If you are using both McAffee & XP firewall then you need to decide between one or the other. Running both actually gives you less security not more, due to firewalls clashing with each other. I don't know about configuring McAffee Firewall (click link) to allow LW as you need to go to their site & find your model of firewall. For XP firewall see Firewall configuration instructions (click on link). If you decide to use McAffee & wish to disable XP firewall go to the control panel, double click on Windows Firewall, check the disable box, else see alternate instructions on disabling XP's firewall.

Dial up users are harder to connect in general. It can take much much longer than other types of connection, which is why it's a good idea to be patient & give LW as much time as possible to connect, be that 15 mins up to an hour. Don't try using LW until it connects. Some people find opening their browser sometimes helps. lol
