Sorry for posting on your turf.

open port forwarding in your router settings on bottom should be upnp port forwarding button click that, type in limewires internel listening port and externel port , set it to tcp and click enable then save your settings and exit

if your limewire doesnt work correctly with all firewalls fixed then proceed
