Thanks
First of all, double check that windows firewall's off & that Mcafee's allowing LW. You could try removing the rules for LW within Mcafee's configuration & then add new rules for LW.
Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center

Next thing to try is deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. This is often a fix when people suddenly can't connect. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Here are some McAfee links. You can also use the forum search to look for more threads
