i also tried the steps given in limewire's support page, i.e entering the 'gnutella IP address' and the 'listen on port number 'for the network connection settings (UDP and TCP) but i'm still seeing the brick wall..i've also removed limewire and downloaded it again, installed it..but still,nothing's changed..i'm lost for solutions..please help.....

Then the problem is probably your modem/router that you connect thru. Enabling UPnP should also be done on this device since most high speed connection devices have internal NAT firewalls. Don't turn your software firewall off for your own security.

Have a look at the brand & model of your device & enable UPnP on it. If you're not sure how to do, then look at the entire thread here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link) which includes the 2nd post. We can't help much if we don't know what your set up is.
