Please help!!! (can't connect)
 
I have been using limewire for about 2 years now, without problems. Last night, when I opened Limewire, a message box appears saying, "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are completely connected to the network." I am receiving no results, no matter the time frame I wait, for any search, and the connection bars are all there, yet the cursor reads "connecting to network." I checked with my virus protection, and Limewire is not detecting a firewall. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for your time.

Make sure that you're only using 1 software firewall (more than 1 will cause problems) & that LW's being allowed through it.

Try the advice here: all of a sudden will not connect (a fix to try)
Start off by deleting LW's preferences folder & changing Java versions.
You'll know if you've deleted the preferences folder properly...when you start LW, you'll go through the setup wizard again & all the settings within LW's options will have changed.
If you get confused with deleting the preferences folder, have a look at this post (Windows XP).
One bar, connection problems

In case you're using Vista: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If nothing there helps, please give us your details.
