limewireman25,

Make sure that the XP firewall's off. Try reconfiguring your Norton firewall.

Delete 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 change all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 (or try others in the arnge of 49152 - 65535) > apply > ok.

What version of Java are you using? Try updating...download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before you install this one.
Java SE Downloads
Some people have had problems with the latest Java versions, so it's up to you if you want to try that one or not. I'm using it & it's fine for me.

This older version of Java has worked better for some people, so try this if the latest Java gives you trouble. Download the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java before you install this one.

What's the model of your 2wire? Did you see the firewall icon before, when LW was connected ok?
