Help with connecting (PRO)

[Habitatpro]

Just downloaded pro. Been using Limewire for over a year on the basic platform. Never had any problems. But this morning did a system restore on my computer its self and decided i wanted pro this time. So yea re downloaded LimeWire and then switched to pro but no I cant connect. Says down in bottom left corner of my limewire starting connection but its been saying that for a hour. Tried to find a fire wall but I dont even think i have one. Running windows xp and went to control pannel and switched to classic like the trouble shoot thing said to do but still no firewall icon. Can anyone help me out?
