New limewire version (No search results)
 

I recently downloaded the new limewire version after a message prompted me to do so, saying that the old version was susceptible to a virus or such like. Everything seem fine and exactly the same except my searches are finding nothing. To check this I have been trying really easy searches like ********and still nothing, not even one. What's going on?!

Hoping someone can help!

Many thanks in advance.

Try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
(try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...) ;)

Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...;)

If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users.

Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...

Thank you very very much! All fixed...
