Default Connection Issues out of nowhere. Firewall configured.

Limewire stopped connecting last week and hasn't worked properly since. The bars at the bottom do not fill past one. I keep going through my firewall and Limewire and it's port number is enabled. I even tried turning off the firewall completely for 15 mins and still it wouldn't connect, which leads me to believe it's not the firewall that's the problem. It seems a lot are having similar issues, but nothing it being done to help. (I tried deleting the .limewire folder and restarting, but this did not solve the issue.)

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP Service Pack 2
2. What firewalls you have? Norton 2007
3. How much ram? 1gb
4. Hard Disk space available? 2gb (with 170 gb on 2 other drives.)
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW... Will show both LW & Java version) Limewire 4.12.11 Java 1.5.0_06
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Tiscali
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? Your test worked!
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem with an experienced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, even with firewall turned off.

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I'm not sure..
