Question Tried all, still can't connect. Check if I've done it right?

Hi,
My options are running out...and still can't get Limewire to connect.
Here are what I've done.

1. I've tried www3.limewire.com:6346, and failed. So now I know my ISP blocks it. I've disabled firewall.

2. Knowing my ISP block...I tried to probe some ports (using grc.com), and all I got stealth. Don't know if my ISP have block all high numbered ports.

3. So, the only way is via proxy. Tried many proxy...has been hours changing from one proxy to the other.

Now....I just want to make sure what I've done is correct.

My setup is I'm connected via linksys router (wrt54g). Now I know this router have some issues, but I manage to get connected to limewire before my ISP blocks it recently.

So here are my questions.

1. Is it correct to leave "Use PnP" check?

2. What port should I put in Listening Port? I've tried many and all that was suggested in previous forum (e.g 3500, 50012, etc.)

3. Assuming I leave "Use PnP" check and some number in Listening Port, I just have to keep on trying the proxy until I get it right.

Greatly appreciate some help here.
