Have you configured your firewalls to allow LW full access?: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

You could try these if you haven't already: Fixes for Limewire

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version,
2. What firewalls you have,
3. ram, 4. HDD space available,
5. Connection type,
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers,
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?

Try the Beta 4.3.3: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml LW 4.2.x has some bugs that are fixed in the new beta version.

Also leave LW on up to an hour to try to connect. Sometimes it can take some time. Depending on how many incomplete & shared files you have it can take a while to load those & some time thereafter to settle.

Also try this: Force IP instructions & sample image
