Default Can't connect!

My Limewire was working fine for me since I got it but for some reason about a week ago it just stopped connecting. When I open it only the first bar is highlighted and it just constantly says that it's connecting. Sorry if this problem has been already covered somewhere.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have? None other than the Windows one.
3. How much ram? 128 MB
4. Hard Disk space available? I don't know where to find this.
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I'm not sure if I have this right but it says motorola SB5120??
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House
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 - 4.8.0 Java - 1.5.0_01
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Rogers
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. I'm not totally sure what this means...I have a wireless router connected but there's no other computer using the wireless at the moment?
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. This is a new problem. Limewire has worked fine for me up untill now.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? I don't see any blue world icon...

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Sorry, but I have no idea.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall I have Spyware doctor but I don't think there's a firewall enabled.
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). Canada
