Well, UPnP is a facility you have to activate within XP, it used to be turned on by default but I don't think it is anymore.
Anyway, you have to turn on UPnP in three things, they are:
a) Windows XP - You may need to go to the MS site to find out to do this.
2) LimeWire - There is a radio button on Options >> Tools >> Firewall that you click in order to activate UPnP in LW.
3) Your modem - Your modem's userguide should tell you how to activate UPnP in your modem. If you no longer have your userguide then phone up your modem's help desk, they should be able to guide you.
Once you have UPnP activated in all three items your firewall, which is in front of the globe, should vanish.
Good Luck.
