kittijo911,
I have no idea what you are using. Limewire Pro costs $18.88 for six months. You can go to the top bar in Limewire and select - HELP, ABOUT and see what version you are running.
It sounds to me like you might have a Java issue. Since your issue is connecting try reading the forum in the connection issues area. You might find help there -
