Says im connected but really not

[markc1999]

All of a sudden awhile ago my limewire started up with 3 bars instantly (instead of 1 for connecting)
it used to always start at 1 and work its way up to 5
it stays at 3.. and is there the instant i start Limewire, which is odd
and it doesnt seem to really be connected as when i search for anything, nothing shows up, ever.
