Thumbs down Can't connect

When I go to connect to limewire, I never get past one bar, and it shows me behind a firewall. I'm running XP, and norton. Windows firewall is already off, and I made an exception for limewire in Norton. I know that it's not my network, my girlfriend uses limewire and she connects fine. I've also used this computer before to connect. It has to be in my settings somewhere. I was using limewire then when I moved in here, it stopped working, so I uninstalled it and tried bearshare and morphous. I've reinstalled limewire after none of those would work either.

thanks!
