I have the same problem

Firewall is turned off and still it says "detected firewall"

My details are as follows:

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account. VISTA. ADMIN USER
2. What firewalls you have? JUST WINDOWS BUT DISABLED IT
3. How much ram? 2400 MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 100GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) BROADBAND, talk talk. 8MB
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? SMARTAX MT882
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? HOME
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help bar > About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. _ Click to see Sample image NEWEST VERSIONS OF BOTH
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Talk talk (carphone warehouse)
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? SAYS TEST WORED
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NONE
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. NEW PROBLEM, OCCURED SINCE I MOVED HOUSE AND SET UP WITH TALK TALK
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image YES, SAYS LIMEWIRE HAS DETECTED FIREWAlL EVEN THOUGH IT IS DISABLED
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I HAVE NOT PORT FORWARDED AS ITS TOO COMPLICATED. I DO I CHECK IF UPnP IS ENABLED?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall AVG, ALSO TRIED IT WITH THAT DISABLED AND STILL NO CONNECTION
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). UK, ENGLAND
17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc?
CHANGED ISP> NOW WITH TALK TALK. TRIED THE PROXY THING BUT THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR AN OLD VERSION OF LIMEWIRE SO DON'T THINK I'VE DONE IT CORRECT
