Well, since you plug the jack into your laptop, I can assume that you have an onboard modem for dial-up with probably 56k.
So, at least we can exclude the modem from the list of possible firewall "producers".
There are two other things we could try.
First, go and delete the " .limewire " preference folder as discribed in Poit 2&3 in Fixes for Limewire:

But you have to have LW completely closed (i.e. also in the system tray next to the clock in your desktop window).
After having done so, you will open LW again and there will be some splash window asking you to configurate LW again. Go through the procedure and then give LW some time (i.e. 5-45 minutes) to settle down.
And if that doesn't solve the problem, try using LW with the XP firewall off.
