Default cannot connect

hi, I am a new limewire user and this is my 1st post. I have 2 computers running xp with service pack 2. The 2nd computer is networked through a wireless linsys router. There is no problem connecting to limewire with the other computer which has the microsoft firewall enabled. The networked computer, however will not connect. I have tried the suggestion in the limewire hompage of adding gnutella, the 127.0.0.1 ip address and also the port number. After a reboot, I was able to connect. After a subsequent reboot it fails again. Even if I delete and add again the ip address and port, it will not connect. If I disable the microsoft firewall then I can connect without a problem. I have made sure that limewire is in the exception list of the microsoft firewall. Any ideas out there? Thanks.
