My guess is your campus has brought in shaping or more likely blocking of gnutella or p2p sharing altogether since last year.
Change connection port also, choose between ports 49152 - 65535. eg: 64049.
Keep both connection & listening port the same. May need to set to manual port forward to change connection port.
For LW 4, use one of the gnutella.net files that was suggested for replacing. This must only be added whilst LW is closed.
A google search for Avast 4.8 suggested: Network traffic - Intrusion Detection - lightweight firewall. -> This might possibly affect connections. Check that option. I haven't used Avast so not sure how it works, but that option sounds like an option another security program I have has.
Nice looking college.
I did a quick check, could not find any mention in their policies about internet use or any internet policies at all (other than off-campus students).

This default port is blocked, so definitely need to change the connection port as I suggested (including listening port.)
Proxies are a lot of trouble to set up. A lot of time, mucking around trying different ones in hope any work at all. So yes, that's an option you probably would prefer to leave alone.
Do you know of any one else who uses LimeWire or any other p2p sharing program at your college?
