Question Limewire won't connect!!!

For the past two days, when I try to connect to Limewire and do a search, an error message comes up saying that I am connecting to Limewire and any search may not be complete. I have checked to make sure that my firewall has an exception for Limewire. But when I place my cursor over the "bars" at the bottom of the screen, it says I am connecting to Limewire, no matter how long I wait. I look under the connections tab and it shows several different connections trying to be made but none are working. Is Limewire having a technical problem of some sort or is this a problem on my end??? Please help!!!

The problem is at your end -- possibly a firewall or configuration problem -
In limewire links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and work your way through these fixes -- if problem remains click on (system details) and fill in as much as you can and post back here

Limewire links: (If LW 5 will not connect) (If LW 4 will not connect)(system details) (LW Clean Reinstallation Instructions) (setting up your firewall to accept LW)

LW links are changed at times to match the current problems.
