First of all, double check that windows firewall's off & that Mcafee's allowing LW. You could try removing the rules for LW within Mcafee's configuration & then add new rules for LW.
Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center
Next thing to try is deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. This is often a fix when people suddenly can't connect. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
Here are some McAfee links. You can also use the forum search to look for more threads
My Vista and McAfee Solution worked Vista + McAfee 2007 + LimeWire = dropping connection “No Compromise” Vista-McAfee-Limewire Solution Can't Connect With VISTA!
