For orkut and other sites try http://www.atunnel.com

For torrents set the port to be used in the programs to port 80. If 80 doesn't work (usually because someone else is using it) try 81, 82, and so on. If none of these work check the proxy settings on your browser and try that port, usually 8080.

When you say ip address in lan settings you make no sense to me.
You got the port number 3128, is it a proxy server. If so what is the ip of the proxy server. Enter those proxy details and port number in limewire. You can get the proxy details from Internet explorer-> tools-> options -> connection -> lan settings

For using orkut, enter the address http://www.atunnel.com directly in your internet explorer, no need to fiddle around

In Limewire go to Tools->Options->Advanced->Proxy
Enter the settings there.

I corrected the spelling mistake above, http://www.atunnel.com for orkut.
