Default Limewire has detected a Firewall

I have been using Limewire for a while now, but I recently turned off my home internet, as I'm hardly ever there, plus my city has a plethora of wifi hotspots. The particular place I would like help with is a Library using BlueSocket. I think it may be them with the firewall, and when I asked the nicest clerk I could find, they said it would allow file sharing networks but they couldn't give me any port numbers.

Windows Vista
2ghz duo amd
3gb ram
86gb HD available
Limewire 4.18.3

I set Norton to allow Limewire and also turned it all off just to see if it worked. It didn't. Also checked to make sure the Windows firewall was allowing it through. I turned that one off just to see if it would work. Still nothing.

Edit:
Also, the test page for Limewire ends with:
"The server at www3.limewire.com is taking too long to respond."

I also turned my firewalls back on and adjusted some settings to allow Windows File Sharing and Shared Networks
