Firewall problems
 

So im sure im not the first to post this but i cant get any search results when i search for something. I notice it says LimeWire has detected a firewall. So i go into my settings and turn my firewall off but still i get no results.

Im using the latest version of Windows BEFORE Vista.
Im using Limewire 4.14.12
Im also using cable but its connected through my wireless card to my router.

Please help thanks

i basicly have the same setup as youve said but im running win xp.

and ive never had any problems

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 does, 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:)
