Default Lime Wire won't connect - isp block

Hi all, I am having problems connecting to L/W - it shows that there is no internet connectivity or I am behind a firewall. I believe that my isp is blocking p2p's. I have spoke with them and was informed of a similar block. The smartass then informed me that if I could get it to work to "feel free to try". So, after many nights of trying I'm asking for help.

any help to resolve this problem is greatly appreciated. Also when limewire is connecting, firefox or IE will not load a page. I thought that was a little weird. if I disconnect, my pages load properly.

1. OS version? 2000Pro
2. What firewalls you have? Zone Alarm - disabled
3. How much ram? 1024
4. Hard Disk space available? 35gb
5. Connection type? Wireless Lan 512 down 128 up

7. Where are you trying to connect from? Home
8. What version of (LW) & Java do you have? 4.13.0 Pro /1.6.0-00

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No
