Help please - I am stumped

I am running XP, everything was fine for a long time, then Limewire just stopped connecting. I have removed Macafee firewall, disabled WinXP firewall, updated to newest gnutella.net file, started, stopped, removed connect and tips on startup, and on and on.

I even bought and installed LW Pro! It still can't connect. I see the brick wall over the globe, even though I have removed the Macafee firewall, and completely disabled WinXP firewall, yet the brick wall still shows. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!
