This has worked for a few Vista users: Uninstall LW (start > all programs > LW > uninstall) & ZA. Now reinstall LW first. Finally, reinstall ZA. Installing LW before ZA seems to be the trick
Double check that the Windows firewall's off.
I can't find much info about your modem, but it doesn't seem to have a firewall.

In LW file > disconnect. Wait 10 minutes, then file > connect.

If you still can't connect, try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. You'll need to show hidden files & folders to be able to find the preferences folder. There are instructions here.

You'll know if you deleted that folder properly - when you start LW, you'll go through the setup wizard again.

If it's still not working, try the fix here (replacing gnutella.net file).

Those instructions are for XP, but you'll need to open LW's preferences folder called LimeWire...the same one that you deleted earlier. Then remove & replace the gnutella.net file there.
