Firstly you can try updating your Java...
Uninstall your current Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.12 offline version....(4th one down)
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5
Then check with these instructions that your McAfee security center is properly configured with limewire..

Your Modem/router also has an inbuilt Nat Firewall, these are you instructions to Port Forward...
