Default Connection help, please?

Last week I was running an older version of limewire fine on this computer. This week I reformatted and got cable internet and no I can no longer connect with either the old version or the newest version. My Details:

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP, sp1 (so no windows firewall)

2. What firewalls you have? Zone Alarm

3. How much ram? 1gb

4. Hard Disk space available? 200+ bg

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Motorola SB5100 modem (no router)

7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? [B******[/b]

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW: 4.12.11 Java: 1.6.0_01

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Millennium Media

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? 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. Long time user, first time problem since the reformat and new isp

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, even when I've shut off zone alarm, which seems strange

I've also tried reinstalling LW several times, reinstalling java with the offline install, tried using different ports and tried using a proxy in case my isp was the problem... nothing has helped. Any ideas?

Thanks
