Default Trying to fix connection problem

Hi I need some help please!!!

I purchased LW pro yesterday and downloaded it. It won't connect. I have read all I can and tried everything I can understand I am no computer expert but can find my way around and follow directions, if they are pretty simple lol.
I have tried removing the preference folder
allowing windows firewall exception
removed java uninstalled LW and then reinstalled
Tried quite alot of other things that I read over a 4-5 hour period. Don't remember everything I tried and not sure if I did it right.
Questions on my part include, how can I tell if my modem is causing a firewall problem
How can I tell whether I have UPnP set up?
Is my problem with a firewall - indicated by the firewall picture at bottom left of LW screen?
Thank You SO MUCH for any help!!!!

1. OS version?
Win XP SP2

2. What firewalls you have?
Windows Firewall... I have set LW as an exception
I don't know if my modem has a firewall. I use AVG Free edition, I don't think there is a firewall involved with that?

3. How much ram?
750 ...I know not much but I don't do gaming or run any heavy programs.

4. Hard Disk space available?
30G

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs?
No Sharing

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
First Time User

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
Yes There is a Brick Wall _

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
I am sorry, but this is one of the areas I tried to work with but not sure what I am doing. Westell 2200 series modem with no seperate router.

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
AVG Free Edition.
Ad-aware

16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country
