Default Firewall? Connection Problems

1. OS version?..................Vista, Home edition
2. What firewalls you have?..................Lynksys router, and maybe windows firewall? im not sure
3. How much ram?...................3GB
4. Hard Disk space available?..................350GB
5. Connection type?..............Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?...............Router brand:Lynksys, model #: BEW11S4. Not sure on the modem, sorry.
7. Where are you trying to connect from?..............House
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: 4.14.12.....Java: 1.6.0_01
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?...........WOW!
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? Yes it worked.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up........Not with other computers, but with an Xbox 360. Setup is Modem>Router>Computer/360
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user......This is a new problem, it seems to be a problem with my router firewall, but im not 100% sure on that one
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....Yep
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. Modem>Router>Computer is all wired connection
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall .....Webroot Spy Sweeper, Trend Micro Antivirus
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).....USA

I am pretty sure it has something to do with my routers firewall. Everything was fine until I hooked up my computer through my router, but I havnt been able to identify the problem yet. I tried all the steps in the Sticky thread, If LW will not connect, but no luck there. Also there is nothing listed in the connections tab. Any help on getting LW to connect would be awesome, thanks.
