No search results

I haven't been on Limewire in a while, I upgraded. I'm using the free version. When I try to search - for anything - nothing at all comes up.

I've tried all the "fixes" and Limewire loads, but no search results!!! My firewall is fine. No search results no matter what I do! Also, only the one short bar is green, the others are red. Does that mean I have a bad connection? How do I (simplify please) fix this? My Limewire USED to work great!

Your search won't work if you are not fully connected to LW -- In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- Try one fix at a time --- do them in this order:-
Check your firewall, Delete/Replace gnutella.net File, Delete Limewire's Preference Folder -- if still not working go
back to the top and do the rest of the fixes. NOTE: [1] when you replace the gnutella.net file with a new one check the filesize --
The download size from mediafire (gnutella.net) is 25.37kb -- if smaller download another gnutella.net file. [2] The Preference Folder is another name for Limewire Folder.

if after all of this your problem remains click on (system details) fill in and post back here

skyliner, how do i check my firewall? (trying to follow steps in post #3)

Try this:- (1) Open your firewall or your antivirus suite (includes a firewall) and find the applications or connections tab where it shows all the programs that have been permitted/accepted by your firewall. Find Limewire hilite it and delete/remove it. Now reboot yr computer -- open/start Limewire and a Popup box from your firewall (nortons, mcafee, whatever) should appear asking if you wish to permit or deny this program -- click permit -- now that should do it --- If this doesn't work --- In Limewire Links (below) click on (system details) fill in and post back here
