After reviewing all the posted threads, I tried a fix slightly simpler than Limewacko's suggestion (Limewacko - thank you for putting me in the right direction).
Simply go to the Files tab, then click on disconnect. Wait a few seconds and click on the connect, no need to shut LW down. My connection was back up and working immediately.

1) Launch Limewire. See the new "Tips" dialog box? DISABLE the show-tips-at-launch checkbox. Then click "ok" and hope you never see that box again.
2) Go to LimeWire Preferences and disable the auto-connect at launch option.
3) Quit Limewire. Then relaunch Limewire. Then manually "connect" from the menu. Voila!
I surmise that the new Tips box is interfering with the application's ability to connect!
