My bars are all red. I have tried all the steps in the STICKY (posted in the connection problems folder) to remediate. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Limewire. It used to work, now all of a sudden, NOTHING. It keeps saying "Currently connecting to the network" and my search will not yield any results until I am "fully" connected.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

1. Make sure your LW is using a different connection port to the one your wife uses. It's found under tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Firewalls.

2. D Link devices are not the most reliable using UPnP. You might be better using port forwarding.

Hi there, I have been having the same problem as u guys and I have managed to solve it by going into tools> options> searching> then put a tick in the box that says "show license warning". Then click apply > ok. Straight away the bars all turned green.
The first time you download the warning will pop up, just click the relevant boxes and it will go back to as it was before but it will connect this time well it does on my limewire!

Hope it works for you guys, it cant do any harm.

Strange how only one person posted their system details here. For connection problems, we can't help too much without them.
