Default One green bar and stays 'connecting' forever

Hi all

Limewire was working fine until recently, but now when it connects it stays on one green bar and when I search it says 'still connecting', no matter how long I leave it. iTunes Store also stopped working at the same time. Any ideas?

1. OS
Win XP SP2
2. What firewalls you have?
Windows Firewall
3. How much ram?

480MB
4. Hard Disk space available?

200MB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)

Wireless broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?

Belkin 45G
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.

4.12.11 1.5.0_10
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?

BT
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 worked.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

It's on a wireless network via the Belkin router. There are two or three other computers on the network.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

New problem, I've been using it for ages. I just reinstalled it but no change.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

Yes
