Make sure that LW's being allowed through the XP firewall.
User Cant Connect - LimeWire

Try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 (you can also try other ports in the range of 49152 - 65535) > apply > ok.

What's the model of your Webstar?
