Already said!

*It's very important that you tell us whether you're using LW 5*
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Orange
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?
Nothing, it loads only
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
With utorrent
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
A new problem!
13. (a) Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface (only for LW 4 users)? _
No
(b) How many red or green bars do you see at bottom left of LW's screen? (all red or grey or only 1 or 2 green bars means disconnected)_ click here to see LW 5 Sample image, OR click here to see LW 4 Sample image

5 grey bars
If you're using LW5, there's no firewall icon. In LW go tools > advanced tools...there you'll see whether you're behind a firewall or not.

Does the page say 'Your Test Worked' ?

Possible issue I see off-hand is the Linksys router.

Have you ever been able to connect with LW or uTorrent with your present computer set up?
