Default Sudden connection problems

Hey guys. I'm having sudden connection issues - Limewire seems to be suddenly be blocked by my router's firewall when I had it configured, and it was working. Tried everything I could think of, not working, so I figured it was time to ask for help

1. OS version? XP Pro SP2
2. What firewalls you have? Just one, router
3. How much ram? 1.25GB
4. Hard Disk space available? 10GB
5. Connection type? Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys WRT54GC
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.

Limewire 4.18.3
Java 1.6.0_06
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Persona Cable
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? It worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

I have one other computer attacked to the network wired. He seems able to connect. I also use Shareaza on this computer, it connects through a different port and works fine.

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Experienced user.
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? Tried both.

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? AVG Free anti-virus, Ad-aware, Spybot search and destroy

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). Canada
