Your University has most likely started blocking LW or p2p programs, or ports. Try step 4 in my previous post. You can also try Problems with the search. If still no good, try Phex (click on link) to see if you have the same problems.

Ensure your XP firewall is off. Try disabling McAffee firewall temporarily to see if it connects. If still no good, try these things (1) Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.). (2) Problems with the search
Which country are you connecting from?
