Default Can't fix firewall blocking connection - MAC OS X v10

For some reason I suddenly have a firewall in my LW altho I haven't had problems connecting before...I have a Mac OS X v10.

1. OS version? Mac OS X v 10.4.1
2. What firewalls you have? I tried to allow Limewire downloads by configuring the port number in system preferences but it didn't work..Limewire is still showing that i've got a firewall.
3. How much ram? 256 MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 14.6 G
5. Connection type? Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Don't know
7. Where are you trying to connect from? House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.1
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Verizon Fios
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? This works
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? I've had LW for a few years and this is the first time i've encountered any kind of problem with it
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? UPnP is enabled
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? McAfee Virex 7.2..I looked in the program and couldn't find where I could configure the firewall
16. What country are you living in? US

Please help, thanks!

2. OSX Firewall settings for Tiger. Though many people don't bother to turn their OSX firewall on.

McAffee is simply a virus detector, it is not a firewall. So no problems there.

If still problems, try to find out what modem/router brands & models you have.
