The Problem.
I've filled all I can in, but my problem is that my Firewall seems to be blocking Limewire. As I've previously answered, I do have Zonealarm Security Suite, and I've gone to Program Control > Program, 'trust level' has 3 bars, access and sever are BOTH ticked, so as far as I can see, it should be letting Limewire through, so I don't understand why when I open Limewire it only had one bar and says "Starting Connection"...

My Windows firewall if off, and I've uninstalled Zonealarm just to see if it'll work without it, and it works perfectly fine. I install it again and it stays on the "Starting Connection" status. So it must be something to do with the firewall for all I can see.

I'm really at a loss here, so if someone could help it'll be greatly appreciated..

These are the instructions for configuring limewire and ZoneAlarm security suite...
Port Forwarding for the Dlink DI-604 (This link should read ZoneAlarm Pro not Dlink, anyway it is for ZoneAlarm)

Also your BT Voyager 205 has a Nat Firewall and these are your instructions to Port Forward, so Limewire is allowed...

Thanks, I've just tried both of those, I did the first one fine and the 2nd one kept giving me some error on my BT broadband.
Wow, Zonealarm + Vista + Limewire really don't go.
Still having the problem

Port Forwarding can get a bit tricky...Just start fresh and make sure you get the Static IP part correct...

Its still not working o_o

is there not any other way?

it actually lets my utorrent through, just not limewiree

Hmmm, you said in an earlier post that LW connected fine when Zone Alarm was uninistalled, so it has to be ZoneAlarm, maybe just disable the firewall when your on limewire, see if that works..
