One thing i can think of with that model Linksys (which is known to have UPnP problems) is to port forward the device for that particular computer & user account. You would first need to set up a static ip address before you created a port clearance for LW for that specific computer.

PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model Click on that model number, click the skip advertisement link top right of page, then find LimeWire on the following page.
3. Set up a port or port range as suggested.
4. In LW, set it up for port forward using the same port numbers:
