what's the difference between the source code version, and "pro"? Or even pro 4.8 and current pro?

Then that question is best put to the programmers of LW.
However, if you want help in getting your LW Basic or Pro to work then you will have to supply the following info that will help us to figure out your problem.
1. What OS version (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista) ?
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ?
6. Modem what brand name & model numbers ?
7. Router brand name & model numbers ?
8. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accommodation, work, etc.) ?
9. What version, LimeWire & Java, are you using. Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.?
10. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ?
11. Do this test click here:
http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ?
12. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
13. Is this your 1st try at LW, or is this a new problem with an experienced user.?
14. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ?
15. Have you given full permissions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ?
16. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.?
17. In Start & remove Programs, Is this update Installed, "Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)" ?
If Windows Updates are not seen, Tick the box at top of page, (show updates)
18. Are you using Manual Port forward in LimeWire OR UPnP ?
Sorry that my first reply seemed curt but your first post came across as a "confused newby", which obviously you are not.
Anyway, pending your reply, you said:

I am not being blocked by any router NAT as my machine is in the DMZ.

I presume from this that you don't have any security software running on your machine and that it is probably a Unix based system and not Wintel one.
I have one question, have you tried port forwarding LW and your router? I ask this because most times a configuration adjustment is needed to both LW and router to get them to work together, i.e. send and receive internet communications.
Awaiting your reply.
