Default Limewire won't connect

I have been using Limewire for years. I have not changed anything. It hangs on connecting, but never actually connects.
Can anyone help out.

1. OS version? Windows XP Pro
2. What firewalls you have? McAfee (but I have always had it and Limewire connected)
3. How much ram? Not sure
4. Hard Disk space available? 14.7 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Conexant D110 MDC V. 9x
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>About LW...) 4.8.1
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast
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? My 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 with an experienced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? No, never did
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? not sure
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall McAfee, have always use this and it worked. I disabled it and still wouldn't connect.
