Its NOT good to use Two Firewalls as they may conflict with each other. Turn off Windows Firewall. Also try Portforwarding your Linksys Router. Gave instruction in post above.
Everyone has a different setup and configuration so you really can't blame Limewire for different Connection Problems. I've used Limewire for several years and have NEVER had a Connection Problem. A lot of times the problems lie with either your Router/Modem or your ISP.

Not sure about Linksys routers, but make sure that UPnP is allowed through your router's firewall.
