The 2 things are different. Some isp's use programs that specifically filter p2p sharing. This is one example:

For those that have discovered that they're now blocked/filtered, they also find it happens "all of a sudden"!
A simple thing to try to make sure it's not LW's fault is to try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here:
Fixes for Limewire
Otherwise, to try other ports: Go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall & change the listening port to something else like 1203, 80, 20282, or 443. Need to press apply button after changing it. Then go to File>Connect or disconnect, wait a minute, then connect. Try each of the suggested port no.'s but allow LW at least 15+ mins to attempt to connect.
