Did you check to see if yr college network has blocked P2P tfc - in the meantime
Try this:- (
you must show all hidden files)
[1] Open windows explorer select Tools à Folder Options à View à Show hidden files and folders. [2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder – go here:- c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\LimeWire (or) c:\documents and settings\username\limewire [3] Ensure that limewire is completely off (check that it isn't in the system tray-bottom right-if it is click on it and select exit) now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file (see image below) 
[4] download a new version from (here) and save it to yr desktop [4] Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder. [5] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire if this doesnt fix yr problem ck out the Limewire Links (If Lw will not connect) (connection problems) (connection troubleshooting)
