I got the fix to work in xp. Here are the steps I took. I don't know if you can ommit any...

My XP firewall was turned on, and I'm using verion 4.0.7

1) Followed Limewire's instructions to add Gnutela port 6346 (under Firewall "Advanced" tab)

2) Under Firewall "Exceptions" tab, added TCP and UDP port 6346 (using "Add Port").

3) Under Firewall "Exceptions" tab, added Limewire software (using "Add Program").

4) Deleted my preferences folder (.limewire)

5) Opened Limewire, and it connected.

Hope this helps!
