It's more than likely the Nat Firewall in your modem/router...
Here are your instructions to Port Forward, so you can open a port for limewire to pass through...

before i do this i have a few questions.
1 this is a modem not a router or are they the same things?
2 i disabled my firewall why is it still showing that its up?
3 how will this change my setup

Some modems are modem/routers, two in one...
You are still seeing the wall because of the firewall that is built into your modem/router...
It wont change your set up at all, it just let's limewire through the firewall, the same way as if you allow limewire through an XP firewall or a Nortons firewall...
