Problem with Limewire not connecting...driving me crazy!?

I just had to reinstall Limewire on my old computer as my new one broke. I also am using AVG version 8 and my OS is Win XP SP 2. I have tried everything I can think of to get Limewire to access the net....allowed exceptions with windows firewall...added the ports as exceptions too. I have also tried to configure my AVG (antivirus free edition) but with no success. I(f anyone can help me...thanks in advance!
