Question apple mac connecting via a windows small busness server

I know a lot has been written about this but I have failed to find anything that works
The problem is getting a connection after looking through all the threads and trying what seems to be every port comnbination I have finnaly given up trying to figure out the problem
I have a mac running os 9.2.2 it is connected to a windows small business server which give the mac its ip address this is locked and is the same every time the mac is booted up. The server controls all incoming and outgoing emails and internet connections via a zyxel prestige 600 ADSL router.
The server has been set up to allow all ports from my mac to be open.
So for example my msn messenger... the connection window indicates that this software is not using a proxy server. My FTP sofware aslo is set up in a way that says that it also is not using a proxy server. But Limewire does not connect regardless of what port and regardless if I set it up with or without proxy server activated. The only time I get any activity is when I turn proxy off and try to connect , then a list of hosts stream in... in the connections window but they all indicate a status of connecting, but none actually connect. Does any one know how to set this up so it works?? or what it means cos I am stumped
Thank you .... to any body who can help.
