I have tried to no avail to figure this out. I get the same old "unable to initialize due to a firewall or loopback connection" and to no avail I cannot start limewire. I do not have any firewall or security features enabled when I utilize limewire. I would appreciate any advice on this matter. I do not know where else to check.

Take a look here. It's a very long thread starting back in 05-07. A lot of info here.
