Do you have a router or anything? It is possible that there might be another form of firewall blocking the ports from incoming and outgoing data.

I have the same problem with my computer. I've only been able to get it to work on computers with OS X.

kazaa lite ++ still works pretty good, plus it makes everything anonymous and safe.

If you want safe go with WinMx...it is worldwide and impossible to get caught. The downloads don't go as fast but it's well worth it.

yeah dude, i recently got limewire too and got the same problem, you either have to just wait it out, or i found it might speed it up if you open an explorer window, maybe just cause it sees that there is an open internet connection on ur comp and recognize what it is. i'm not sure though, but i have a router and a firewall... so maybe it's different with you, but it's worth tryin
