Angry See the face? Same Old Question (Can't connect - Vista)

Can't get it to connect......

1. OS version? Vista - I think I am the administrator - there is only me that has a set up on here

2. What firewalls you have? I know I have McAfee - I followed the instructions and went in and added Limewire and THINK I allowed the port
3. How much ram? I have no idea
4. Hard Disk space available? I have no idea
5. Connection type? Dial Up
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I use my ********** as the modem I dont know why that was starred out. Not brown: _ _ _ _ _ and not a nut: _ _ rr _
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) LW 4.16.7 Pro and Java 1.6 0 oem
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Alltel
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It said YOUR TEST WORKED! (much more excited and convinced than I am!)
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Nope - just me
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. We will go with first try. I subscribed a year or two ago and gave up! Never used it once.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ Yep
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I have no idea
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? McAfee
16. What country are you living in? USA

I honestly missed on the LimeWire site where I was going to have to do all of this mess. It says "Works behind firewalls!" I seriously doubt I am computer literate enough to make this work.... I know that I tell the computer what to do but I must have a boy computer because mine just won't listen!
