Default why won't LimeWire connect?

I've tried many different things to connect to limewirebut none of them worked. I have completly deleted limewire and redownloaded it, tryed to redownload the guntella.net thing and everything but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me?

1. OS version? (Windows xp)
2. What firewalls you have? windows
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available? 26.4 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? it is a Siemens: 060R-D246-A12
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 bar > About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. _ Click to see Sample image The newist versions
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? windstream
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? didn't work
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. I had LW before but had to delete
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 i do but windos excepts LW
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 avast, ad-watch and Spybot
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country US
