Default Problem Firewall, ISP, routeur

Hello everybody,

Sorry for the mistake in english, but I'm french. Thanks.

So I try to use Limewire. And I don't get a network connection.
I give you my configuration following the system detail.

1. OS version? Windows XP Pro SP2

2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall

3. How much ram? 1Go

4. Hard Disk space available? 30Go

5. Connection type? broadband

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Modem Clearw're; Router Linksys-WRT54G

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 4.12.15 Java 1.6.0_01

9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? ClearWire

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's not possible to display the page propably because the port is blocked by the ISP.

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No sharing.

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 1st try.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

Yes Limewire said, It's behind a firewall. But it's on the exception of my firewall.

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

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Antivirus AVG Antivirus.

16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). I'm living in Ireland.

I'm almost sur the problem comes from my ISP.
I have already try without my rooter but that did work.
So If you have any ideas?
Thanks a million.
