Not sure if this will help you, but it may help someone out there. I went into LW/tools/options/advanced/proxy and moved the dot from HTTP to No Proxy, and then I went into Firewall Config and changed the "Listening on Port" to 64049, reconnected LW, and now I'm "turbo charged".
:PEACE:Woohoo, hope this helps someone.

Shell

I've tried both of these options and neitehr one has worked...must be that wonderful Windows Vista I have for an O/S....:confused:

I have Vista and it worked!! :super:

Mine was clicked on "no proxy"....I changed it (to Proxy) then close LW then re-opened and re-clicked "no proxy " with the number stated above and it worked. Just keep messing with it and exit LW...when you re launch LW....bam!, firewall icon is gone. :bangh:

Is your LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)? If LW's connected, try the fixes below.

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it's ticked , untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.

If LW Will Not Connect
If nothing there helps, post back with your system details:)
