I see your RWIN is set to low for your connection you should set it between 125,000 and 130,000 for your connection speed.

Your avg ping 79 X 1.5 = 118.5 X connection sped 1085 = 128,572 is your recommended RWIN

You can download DrTCP at the link below and reset your RWIN with it you must reboot for the changes to take affect.

Also I am not exactly sure what problem you are having is you wrote

But you didn't explain what your problem is. Other than one works and the other doesn't.

Although you do talk about firewall issues which leads me to believe it is connection issue. You did say one works and the other doesn't. I am assuming you are using both at home on the same connection. Check to make sure that limeWire is set up the same on both same ports etc. Your router does have a firewall in it but if one is working and the other isn't this should not be an issue unless one is using Port forward and the other isn't remember each must have a static IP address if you are port forwarding. Check and make sure.

Changing your RWIN is not going to help you to connect but it will help your data transfer speeds. I have a feeling you new computer needs to have a static IP set up on it but I am not sure you did not mention how LimeWire was set up on your work computer. But if LimeWire works on one and you are using the same connection then it should work on the other if it is setup the same.
