Unhappy Windows ME connect problem

HELP! I've been fighting this for 3 days and I'm ready to take a hammer to this computer. My problem is when I try and connect, everything appears to be working for 6 to 8 seconds and then I get disconnected. I've read through the forums and tried the fixes recommended but to no avail. Here is a list of what i've already done and know.
I completely deleted McAfee off my home computer.
I am running WindowsME
I use a wireless network to my ISP
My connection speed is 512k
They do not block Grunella
I do not have a router
I looked at the bug report example and it states"Received incomming this session: False."
I do not think I am going through a proxy server. How can I tell?
I've totally re-loaded limewire Pro.
If I have another firewall enabled on my PC, I cant find it.

Can anyone help? PLeeeeease

Thanks for supplying the info, we wish everyone would do this b/c it'd save a lot of time. But there's no need to post your details twice.

Your incoming being false says there is a problem somewhere. OK you don't have a router but, what is the brand name & model number of your modem? (it may have NAT which restricts most ports. NAT is roughly comparable to a firewall. If yours does then we'll need to open a port for LW's access.)

Which LW version are you using? I don't think win me had any ms firewall did it?

I'm not the one to ask about proxies.
