Thanks Wondering Why and Birdy.

I am completely stumped. When I try to search in Limwire it looks like it is searching for the audio file I want but I don't get any results. I have followed all instructions; ensured Windows firewall is turned off; made sure the listening port is 6346; added a packet filter in the router; the router does support UPnP. Thanx fo ryour help but I think i am destined not to download from Limewire anymore. The weird thing is that it worked fantastically until I got my router.
