Connection Issues, please help!!!
 

Ok I am running on a laptop at home and whenever I open Limewire, I cannot connect!! It says its trying to connect to the server or w/e but no luck and the brick wall is in front of the globe but I turned off my firewall and I even added the ports both UDP and TCUP or w/e it is just in case.

Dell Inspiron 2650
Windows XP SP2- just rebooted my computer and installed everything from scratch
128MB Ram
15 GB of free space
Connected through LAN wire on laptop through Cable Modem
I am an experienced user, it works fine on my desktop but not on my laptop!
I am trying to connect from home but I am gonna be goin to college in a few days and I wanna solve it before then.
I tried that test on that website and it said "Your Test Worked"
I installed Java 1.6.0_02
I have Limewire 4.14.7
I am so confused I dont even know what to do. Im not even good with computers if any of you have the patience and time to deal with me please help!!! Id greatly appreciate it!!!!

First thing I'd try is changing Java versions...some people have had connection problems with both 1.6.0_01 & _02. Use this one instead, take the JRE offline installer & remove any existing Java versions before you install this one.
