Default Connection problems

Hi, first time posting, so thanks in advance

I used to have limewire, and it worked fine, on and off, but generally fine. I then updated, and it stopped working,
Now it continually says "connecting...." on the 'connections' tab.
It also says that it detects a firewall,
I am using windows firewall, and AVG free 7.5. According to Windows Firewall, Limewire is accepted, but it still wont allow it to connect.
Below is the information needed;



1. OS version?
Windows XP Media Edition
2. What firewalls you have?
Windows Firewall, AVG free (im not sure if that has a firewall within it)
3. How much ram?
960 MB
4. Hard Disk space available?
35.6 GB
5. Connection type?
Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
BT Voyager 2100
7. Where are you trying to connect from?
Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have?
LW 4.16.6
Java 1.6.0_03
9. Who is your ISP (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, non-experianced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
Yes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
Im not sure
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
AVG Free 7.5
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).
England, UK
