hey guys....i'm havin the same problem most people are having n i'll be honest-i wanna pull my hair out.

ok...when i type in a search... i get "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network."

and now i've filled out as many of those questions as i could...

1. Windows XP
2.I've just got windows firewall at the moment
3.*i duna where to find the hard disk space*
4. Wireless connection
5. i wasnt exactly sure wat this was....but ive got an Acer Aspire3054WXCi
6. I'm connecting from home
7. LW version 4.12.14 and Java version 6.0.10.6
8. wasn't sure for this one either....but we connected thru Telkom if that helps
9. I couldn't reach that page
10. there is one other computer, but it's not wireless but it is on the same network
11. this is a new problem. i used LW on the other computer, and one day i went on to use it again and that message came up....and now it's doing it on my laptop
12. yes there is a brick wall
13.UPnP enabled
