OK, I don't think I will be able to help to much with the firewall as I need the modem/router details..

But with what you are currently experiencing I'd say it's because of fake hosts...
Go to your connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
If the same hosts keep appearing, disconnect limewire for 5 to 10 mins and then re-connect, until you get a complete new set...

Oh...Well that means you are not connecting to the network at all...
It sounds like the apartment building your living in is blocking p2p...
Or the ISP they use is...

You could try this, I'm not sure it will help though...
Try changing your port numbers...
Go To Tools > Options > Advcanced > Firewall..
and select the manual port forward box and change it to 64049
then change the listen port box to 64049 and select apply...


If that didn't help you can try..
Uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.12 offline version....(4th one down)
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5

And last but not least..
Try deleting your preference folder...
Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should

After deleting the preference folder and you still cannot connect, make sure you do the ports again...

If none of the above work it's definatley the appartments set up...
