Default Connection Trouble

First off, my name is Matt

I recently got my laptop only a few months ago and noticed McAfee Antivirus and firewall or w/e was automatically installed on my gateway.
I uninstalled it and continued on my way.

Now a few months later, I tried to install Limewire but it is stuck on Starting Connection.

Underneath the connections tab, there is nothing shown at all. I though that was a little different. Also, I have followed the stickies provided, and none of them have been helpful.

I have a decent amount of computer knowledge, so dont be afraid to ask me something.

I'm running my laptop through a wireless router. I believe it is a Netgear WGR614v7.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP Media Center Edition
2. What firewalls you have? Windows firewall, although McAfee was installed on my computer to begin with and was removed not too long ago.
3. How much ram? 1gb
4. Hard Disk space available? 20gb
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Wireless Router
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Netgear WGR614v7
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...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.15 beta Limewire (Note! Will not work with earlier versions either!) 1.6.0.02 java
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? As far as I know, We have a roadrunner/time warner cable package with the phone and tv.
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? Home computer with the router in that room. That has limewire installed and it works fine.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I have had it before on past computers, but it wont work with this new one
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes...
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPnP I believe
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall None right now, as previous stated, McAfee was removed a little while ago.
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). USA
