Some Vista users have fixed their connection problem by uninstalling both LW & ZA, then reinstalling LW first & finally reinstalling ZA. Don't uninstall LW via Add/Remove programs (or the Vista equivalent), uninstall from start > all programs > limewire > use the uninstaller there.

Did you also remember to change the number in the 'manual port forward' box (within LW's advanced > firewall config) to match LW's listening port & port forwarded within the router setup?

Please give your details.
