Have things just stopped working since you upgraded to Pro? Make sure that your XP firewall's off & then configure PC-Cillin to allow LW.

Next, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Try port forwarding for your router, the instructions are here.

Don't forget to set up a static IP address first, you'll also need to follow the MAC Address link in those instructions.
LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router all have to be the same number.

Did you update your Java version when you upgraded to Pro? If you did & haven't been able to connect since installing 1.6.0_01, try using this older Java (some people have had probs with 1.6.0_01 & some can use it just fine). Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before you install this one.
