Unhappy Cannto Connect - but this is a weird one!

Ok so a few months back Limewire stopped connecting on me. It displayed a message saying either I had no internet connection or a firewall was blocking my access. I double checked the firewall and it didn't seem like it was blocking it, I did all the things that the help section in the Limewire page suggested and still nothing. So I brought it to a computer store where all of a sudden it worked no problem and I looked like an idiot. I brought it back home and still had the exact same problem. Two weeks later I brought it back to the Computer store and the guy disabled the firewall completely and it worked. Grand so!

Now months later my flatmate downloads Limewire and gets the exact same problem. She brings her laptop into the store and it magically works but when she brings it home the same problem occurs. I find that my laptop experiences the same thing as well. I disabled the entire firewall and still it doesn't work.

How is it that it works in the store but not at home and why is it that if Limewire was blocked by my ISP that I've always been able to get it (plus I know the computer store uses the same ISP).

I'm not a techie so reading alot of things in these forums sometimes leaves me baffled!! Has anybody else experienced this problem or is there any suggestion what I could do?? The techie guys at the computer store use Limewire too but they didn't have a clue why this was happening!

Please help!

Thanks.
