unable to initalize and start

ok when i try to start LW i get the message"LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire."
So what do I do??
read a great number of threads to no avail
Running XP sp2
XP firewall is set as Exceptions-LimeWire.exe
Advanced-Loacal Area Connection-settings-gnutella{127.0.0.1/6346/tcp}
gnutella{127.0.0.1/6346/udp}

I am running no other firewalls
port6346 is not blocked
version is4.9.37

oh and i did have it running for a while with an excellent connection then this help me
