Unfortunately that is true for more & more colleges/universities nowadays. They have been changing their policies re: p2p sharing because they use up so much bandwidth.

You could try this: Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & change the ports to one between 49152 - 65535. A good one to try is port 64049. Then close LW & re-open.

Also, make sure you have configured your firewall to allow LW or FW full access. See User Cant Connect - LimeWire (click on blue link)

Re: Ubuntu; unfortunately I have never used it. I am not sure about issues regarding it. Try searching Ubuntu on the forums.
