Have you checked with your ISP. They may have started blocking or shaping LimeWire. Who is your ISP

First un-install Java then un-install Limewire. Restart PC. Re-install Limewire.
It worked for me.

Thank you kindly for your advice. I did as you requested as same problem persists (Limewire 4.12.6 with Java 1.5.0_09 installed).

Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated !!

You would be best posting in the BearShare section. This is the LimeWire section.
I'd also recommend downgrading to BearShare 5 ... you will see option in the bearshare section.
