Default I don't get it.

I know this one has been beaten to death, but I couldn't find quite what I am looking for on the other threads. I initially had troubles a couple days ago until I read that changing the listening port might work, so I did that, and it worked!! Until I woke up this morning only to realize it no longer works. The only thing that has changed from the last time it worked is I am now in a new house. Same provider same service, new location. Why isn't it working?

4. Hard Disk space available? Plenty
5. Connection type? Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from? 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.
9. Who is your ISP Midcontinent
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? Test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem
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?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
16. What country are you living in? USA

This shouldn't really matter as it worked fine the other day, all I did was move across town, nothing else changed
