Limewire is currently connecting to the network, why?
 

When I try to search this pops-up, ¨Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network. But it never ends up connecting, why is this?

It means you are not connected to the Gnutella network. Chances are you are being blocked from it via a firewall of some description ... software or router firewall. What we need to know to help you is ... -> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)
