Default Firewall problems???

Hi,
I'm trying to get my limewire working, but it just won't connect. I just got back to college from the summer and I'm updating everything, but LW won't work (brick wall).

My computer has:
Pentium 4 HT @ 3.2GHz
200GB hardrive
1GB ram
XP Pro with all updates
McAfee antivirus
Windows Defender beta 2
Windows firewall
LW 4.12.6 from limewire.com
java version 5, update 8

As for my connection, its the university LAN, 100mbps, with no routers or NAT stuff that I know of (although i could be wrong). I've tried everything I've found on opening ports in the firewall...including manually setting ports in the windows firewall....changing port numbers to random numbers....disabling the firewall and antivirus....port tests by visiting that one site...etc. Right now its set to listen on port 15505 and use UPnP (in grey the manual port forward is at 6346). Those are the default values it had after i installed the latest version.

Any Ideas anyone? This is killin me
