Enabling Open Information Sharing...won't connect

Hi, newbie here. Sorry, but I have searched and tried to figure this out and can't.

I just upgraded the Free version of LW to 4.16.6 and JAVA 1.6.0_05. I haven't had any connections issues up until this point. Since the upgrade, I can no longer connect. The bottom tab states: ENABLING OPEN INFORMATION SHARING. LW never connects. I left it for 2 hours last night and it still did not connect. I looked up the event system log and it shows several errors all noting "7" as the error code. I had discovered this connecting issue when trying to do a seach. I get a window that pops up and states LIMEWIRE IS CURRENTLY CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK. YOUR SEARCH MAY NOT RETURN MANY RESULTS UNTIL YOU ARE FULLY CONNECTED TO THE NETWORK. Hence, I get NO search results.

Can someone guide me in correcting this issue? I really would appreciate it!

TIA
