jmfmike,

Double check that LW's being allowed through the AVG firewall & that the XP firewall is turned off. Some people have had trouble with a Windstream firewall...I think you'd have had probs with it before now if it was an issue with LW but just in case, have a look at post #7 below.

In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. change LW's listening port to 64049 (or something in the range of 49152 - 65535) > Apply > ok.

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.

Some people have had connection problems when using that latest Java update. Try this version instead, download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before you install this one.

There's a firewall within your router. Try port forwarding, the instructions are here.
Port Forwarding for the Linksys WRT150N
Don't forget to set up a static IP address first, or port forwarding won't work. LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router should all be the same number.
