Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: OS 10.3.9)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. *** Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

I believe the newer version is a touch more sensitive to firewalls & has some issues with UPnP when running as an ultrapeer. For a start, try disabling UP capabilities: LW Prefs>Speed>tick disable UP capabilities.
