When your Limewire tries to connect are you getting any connection attempts ?

Just kidding Limewire Basic will connect to 3 UltraPeers and Limewire Pro will connect to 5 (Unless running as an UltraPeer yourself.

Did this make any sense ??

Also like OAH said it could be your ISP blocking Limewire. And also it would help a great deal if you could tell a bit more about how you connect. Like what does your LAN card connect to and are you sharing your internet with anyone (eg. live in an apartment building)
