Hi guys , I need some help badly please

I have got suse 10 Enterprize edition , 512 ram , P3 866 MHZ , Huge 500 GB hard disk,
Limewire version is 4.12.11
Java version is 1.4.2_11

I also have windows Xp on the same computer and Limewire works perfectly on windows.
I disabled the firewall on linux and it never worked and I get this message

" Limewire is currently connecting to the network , your search may not return results until you are fully connected to the network. "

I do not know what to do , after I've tried everything from allow Lime wire in the firewall allowed ports section , and disabling the firewall.

After I disabled it it shows the firewall icon !!!!
