Disable the XP firewall & configure the Norton firewall to allow LW.

Try changing ports. In LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 (or something in the range of 49152 - 65535) > Apply > ok.

Has the connection problem started since you updated your Java? Some people have had problems with 1.6.0_01. If the connection problem ties in with when you updated Java, try using an older version. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before you install this one.

Have you tried connecting at different times of day? One person here thinks Batelco are blocking p2p from 9am to 6pm.

You could try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things.

Try to find out the brand & model of your modem/router. If nothing's showing on top of the device, have a look underneath.
