Hi everyone. I am really mad right now. I have just installed Limewire 4.12.11 and everything was going smoothly...until I click "search". It doesnt show ANYTHING and i think its because i dont have a good connection but my internet connection is EXCELLENT
Here are the facts:
-The brick is on the world
-1 of 5 red bars are green
-I HAVE A *MAC* LAP TOP
-USA
-I have used Limewire before, just not on THIS computer.

PLEASE HELP ME>..... THANKS

I have the exact same problem on a macbook pro, running os x 10.4.11, I've tried deleting the preferences folder, installing multiple versions, and turning off the firewall all to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks to all in advance.

Try this, it worked for me;

1. Open up 'System Preferences'
2. In 'Internet & Network', open 'Sharing'.
3. Select the 'Firewall' tab (your Firewall should be on)
4. Select 'New...'
5. From the 'Port Name' drop down box, select 'Gnutella/LimeWire'
6. Select 'OK'
7. Restart your LimeWire application.

Oh, and this is for users running Mac OS X version 10.4... If you're not running this then you'll have to do a little more digging =/

Good luck and hope you all get Limewire running soon ^_~

thanks so much for your help
BUT
when i go to sharing on my lap top i do not have any tabs that say fire wall anywhere
do you know of another place i could look for firewall tab in?
