i just downloaded limewire but anything i try to search i get 0 results. any suggestions?

So do you have all green or blue connection bars on the far left bottom corner?

Did you configure your firewalls to allow LW full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

i have 1 green bar on the bottom left. i use WIN XP and use cable modem and use a linksys router with another cpu in the same room. the other cpu has limewire on it and it runs smooth so im not sure whats the prob?

Running 2 thru the same connection means the one that gets in first will hog all the bandwidth that's why.

nevermind. for sum reason all the green bars are lit up now and its working. weird. thx anyway
