Sorry it took so long, it was the weekend. I still having the same problems but I took my computer 2 my friend house and hook his internet connection 2 my comp and my limewire worked. So I was wondering if it could be my isp provider that got my limewire not connecting?

I can't find any info to suggest that your ISP is blocking p2p. Their Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) does mention that copyright infringement is in violation of the AUP but then so do most ISP's terms & conditions!

In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to something in the range of 49152 - 65535. Try a few different ports in that range & see whether you can connect.

Are you able to use any other p2p apps? You could try Phex, BearShare or FrostWire and see whether any of those will connect.

I can't find any info about your modem, apart from that it's a Motorola! Do you have the user guide there? Can you have a look to see whether there's any internal firewall info? Do you know whether the modem supports UPnP?
