Always trying to connect
 

I have recently moved and never had a problem previously, but now for some reason whenever I try to load a song, I get an error message that reads "Limewire is currently connecting to the nework. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network." My connection quality remains at the first bar and as far as I know the firewall is disabled for this program. Although it does show a firewall status with a wall in front of a globe? Please help me!! I haven't been ablt to do anything for 3 weeks now!!!

Try some of these solutions.

Update your Java. Having outdated Java is not good and may cause problems. Go here to get it.

Jave Installer Page

Click the second one there. After that it will show you two links for each Platform. Go to the Windows platform part, and click the one that says ''Offline'' in there.

NOTE: Before you install this version of Java, remove all other versions in Add and Remove Programs.
