Hi Cole. Looks like you may have several things going on that could be causing the problems.
First thing to do is turn off the Windows Firewall, and give Limewire full access through Norton. Running two firewalls can cause them to conflict with each other.

Will need to Portforward.Port Forwarding for the Linksys WRT54G.

And Finally, COX could be behind a lot of your problems.

Thanks for your help. If something ever happens, I will be sure to use your answers. I have two Macs where Limewire runs just fine, but I dunno what happened on my XP. Thanks again.
