Firewall you're using mcafee
Modem/router brand & model i dont know what this is?
ISP comcast
Connection type (DSL etc) cable
Where you connect from (home, school etc) home
Are you sharing a connection with other computers nope
Is this your first try with LW no ive used it before but it didnt have the problems that it does now
If your listening port changes then just change it back

Also you say cableconnection. Doesn't that mean that you get connected through a router or modem ? You might need to portforward or turn on UPnP in the router

Have you changed any hardware lately ?

In limewire go to tools>options>firewall config and tell us what in checked (UPnP, Portforward or Nothing)

Also go to tools>options>bugreports and press view example bugreport then copy paste it in a reply here (use Ctrl+a and Ctrl+c since rightclicking doesn't work in limewire to get those options)
