Default Problem connecting

Okay I think I've gone over this site and tried the fixes suggested to other users but nothing seems to work. I'm running LW on another computer with this internet connection but it is the main computer and is not reliant on the router. Also for some reason it doesn't seem as LW is even looking for a host? Can some one help?



1. OS version? Windows Vista Home Premium
2. What firewalls you have? MacAfee and windows security which is turned off
3. How much ram? 1.99GB
4. Hard Disk space available? 81.4GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Netgear not sure of the model #
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 4.14.10 Java 1.6.0
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Time Warner
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? Your test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Yes I have one other computer on this internet connection which has LW installed with no problems.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. This is a new problem I've used LW on three other computers.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image Yes but LW was added as an exception.
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 MacAfee and Windows security. The Windows security program was disabled when I installed MacAfee
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). US
