Is your firewall setup to allow Limewire full access to your computer -- if not do that now - ensure that you only have 1 firewall running. windows XP & Vista come with a firewall, so if you have a antivirus suite which includes a firewall disable the windows firewall.Also if you have a modem/router this will have a firewall which needs to be reconfigured to allow LW.

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if still no good click on (system details) fill in and post back here

Check your security centre -- it will be an icon (green,blue,yellow,red) on your desktop and looks like a shield -- open it and it will tell you which firewall is running on your computer -- click on windows firewall and make sure it is off/disabled -- I presume that your mcafee is a antivirus as well as a firewall -- you only need 1 firewall running on your computer -- more than 1 causes conflicts etc. -- now go to my earlier post and follow the fixes (if LW will not connect)
