Post these details, as you probably have a Nat Firewall within your router...

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP 98
2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall(With limewire being allowed) & AVG
3. How much ram? ???
4. Hard Disk space available? 80G
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Wireless RR installed
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Limewire Pro
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Road Runner
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It said my test worked!
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Share with two other computers mine is wireless
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I have installed it for other people and it has worked fine i am a technology major everything has been debugged i have even tried to direct connect by using my friends and familys IP addresses nothing has worked.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image Yes but i have added limewire as an allowance in my windows firewall protection.
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I have no idea it was set up by roadrunner
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall AVG
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). USA
