Well my guess is then that your speedstream is blocking ports. As far as I can ascertain, this modem only utilises UPnP whilst used in USB mode. Thus I suspect you'll need to do port forwarding. There's 3 steps with the 1st (static ip) probably the most important or else the port forwarding won't work.
The Steps:
1. Set up a Static ip (see instructions under step 2 (4rth link listed on that page!)
2. Forward
port 6346;
Port forwarding instructions for Speedstream 5200 which also includes instructions for setting up a static ip. Choose Limewire from the list when you reach the port forwarding stage.
3. Within LW:
