Default Connecting to network

Hi, I have downloaded and installed the software and when i type in something to search it keeps coming up with the message "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network" but then it searches and doesnt do anything and then it never says i have connected.
I have re booted my computor but it does exactly the same thing. My step dad has installed it on his laptop aswell and getting exactly the same thing.
Can anyone help me on this please?

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account.Vista and administrator
2. What firewalls you have? just windows firewall i think but i do have mcafee aswell but i have disabled them and tried it and it still didnt work
3. How much ram? i am not sure where i find this out
4. Hard Disk space available? i think it is 2gb, not sure if that is right sorry
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) usb internet connection

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help bar > About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. _ Click to see Sample image limewire 4.18.7, java 1.6.0_05
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? t mobile
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? your test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. no
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. not first try had it on my old computor
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image yes,but i have gone into that and it says my firewall is disabled
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? dont know, sorry
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall i have mcafee but have disabled it and tried it and it id doing the same thing
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). surrey, united kingdom
17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc? no
