Ah... and let me guess - That means theres no hope for me and my new LimeWire. So, it seems to be a random blocking process on certain computers - would it be possible to have my ISP unblock that port.. or do they tend to frown on that?

I'm not sure whether your ISP blocks P2P at peak times only or what -- try connecting at a non peak time --- you will have to check with them -- google your ISP and have a read -- let us know how you get on

I forgot to mention this link -- it has worked for some people with a Blocked ISP (Fix for blocked ISP's) give it a try. This is only a temp. fix though -- the only permanent way to fix the problem is to change your ISP to one that doesn't block P2P

Default There is hope, try this

Follow these 3 easy steps:

1. Uninstall limewire
2. Delete folder C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data
3. Reinstall limewire, this will definately work for you guys.

The trick is deleting the Application Data folder. If you cant find it, do a seach for limewire on your computer. Once it shows the files and folders, delete the application data folder.

Delete the ENTIRE Application Data folder, or just the Limewire folder within it?
