Default Lost my ability to connect !!!!

Hello all...I am new to this forum and am in need of some help...I have used Limewire for a while now and have had no trouble through many upgrades...all of a sudden I can't seem to get it to work....I click on the desktop icon and get to the Limewire page...when I search for a file I get a window that pops up to say that Limewire is connecting and I won't get any results till it is connected...if I go up to the file heading up at the top it says that I AM connected...I have left it in this state for an entire night and in the morning it still says that it is trying to connect....I have uninstalled the entire Limewire program three times and reinstalled it new without any success...my son has it on his computer and is having no problems at all...my wife has Pro on her computer and seems to have no problem as well....if this has happened to anyone and they can direct me to some help I would appreciate it..thanks for your time....
