Just happened to me. No firewall, but it suddenly started incorrectly showing a firewall in the status bar and four red bars. It refuses to reconnect, saying I have no functioning network connection, which is false. And in the stderr console I found something extremely interesting.
Code:

at com.limegroup.gnutella.util.ManagedThread.run(ManagedThread.java:49) Anyone care to explain why Limewire is trying to connect to
www.ebay.com? I can't think of a legitimate reason for it to contact that particular host. I do hope you aren't planning on introducing spyware in version 5 or some such. Big commercial sites are the last place I expect it to be connecting.
And an example bug report, just for completeness, after hitting file -> connect for the umpteenth time with no sign of it establishing any connections:
