Default Stranded in Mass(LW 4.8.1 not connecting)

Howdy, to the board!

1. Win XP Pro v2002 SP2
2. Windows Firewall & whatever firewall came w/my Linksys WRT54GS
3. 1.00 GB RAM
4. 6.66 GB on my boot partition (where LW resides)
5. 4.3 MB/sec Cable Connection
6. Modem: Motorola SB5120; Router: Linksys WRT54GS v2.0
7. Connecting from my home.
8. LW 4.8.1 Pro & Java 1.5.0_11
9. ISP: Comcast took over Adelphia here recently (tech says that they don't limit P2P, however)
10. I get a message stating that "Your test worked!"
11. My wife occassionally hooks up to a second output from the router.
12. I've used LW many times in the past from the same location.
13. NO, but I'm not sure where to find this either. It's NOT on the LW window.

I too have a constant single green connection status bar, but no actual connection. In addition, I get no error messages of any kind. I've been trying to help myself by reading up on this and following any procedural text I can glean, or otherwise find in this regard. In fact, I went to PortForward.com and applied the text they've posted there for LW and my router. As you can tell, I still have an internet connection, so I probably did something correctly.

I've also tried taking the chance of turning off my firewalls -- both in Windows and in the Router -- to no avail. In short, I'm fairly well stuck. Is anyone interested in working with me on this?

Have a great one,
Bill
P.S. We've moved more than once since I initially installed LW Pro. I'd like to see if I can get my old [once very reliable] version running before I get the latest and greatest.
