Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link) If you have another firewall on top of XP firewall, then go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box.

If after all of that it does't work try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire
