Default Still can't connect, have read posts

I have been using limewire for a long time now, and all of the sudden i cant conect. i have set up exceptions in my norton firewall and in the windows firewall. i have also turned off the windows firewall so only the norton firewall is running. I have UpNP set and my router does have that feature. i also have the newest LW version. i am not sure what else to do or what changed...someone help?

Log onto an account that you can connect with, start LW and go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall, and see what the "Listen on Port" is.

Then shut LW down and log onto your account, start LW and change it's "Listen on Port" to the same thing as the other one was.

Make sure LW isn't running on any other account and see if it connects.
