It's more than likely the Nat Firewall in your modem/router...
Here are your instructions to Port Forward, so you can open a port for limewire to pass through...
Port Forwarding for the Westell 6100

Some modems are modem/routers, two in one...
You are still seeing the wall because of the firewall that is built into your modem/router...
It wont change your set up at all, it just let's limewire through the firewall, the same way as if you allow limewire through an XP firewall or a Nortons firewall...

No I wouldn't, it can get a bit difficult trying to turn it off...Just follow the instructions, it's not hard once you get going...
