Connection problems
 

When i start my basic limewire program, it takes a LONG time to connect. Why is that? What do i need to do?

But it does connect right? :) Let's see if we can see anything where things can be improved; can you please supply details about your set up so we can have a closer look: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) :)

Hi I'm new with Limewire... and i"m already fustrated - no guide in helping setup the program so it works.

Can someone please help me. When I launch the program, bottom left show no internet connect, why is that?

your help is appreciated.

Probably a firewall of some type is preventing your LW from connecting to the network. The firewall might be your windows firewall or/and your router's NAT which prevents incoming messages over a range of ports.
