There is a hidden limewire folder that must be deleted to allow the connection to take place. It's typically not going to be a firewall issue. Hope this helps you guys.
Hi SpecksTX,

Deleting LW's preferences folder (named LimeWire in more recent versions, named .limewire in versions prior to 4.9.34) is a fix that's been posted here for years

It's good to know that heaps of people are solving their connection problems by deleting that folder
