Try deleting LW's preferences folder (make sure LW's properly closed first), points 2 & 3 below
Fixes for LimeWire

Have you just updated LW? Are you using Norton's firewall? If so, try starting from scratch & reconfiguring the firewall

If you're not using the Norton firewall, double check your settings within whatever firewall you have.

If that's no help, remove your current Java version & then reinstall JRE using the offline installer (point 1 in the "Fixes for LW").

Otherwise, have a look through this thread. It has heaps of info about firewall problems. If you're stuck, give us your details (post #2 will tell you the info we need)
Connection problems? Check here first!
