Default Firewall Problem

Limewire says I'm behind a firewall even when I disable my firewall. I use the windows firewall. This problem started once I moved my computer to my college dorm. Before, at my house, it worked fine. However, people at my college in the same dorm I'm in can download music so I don't think it's the school disabling the sharing of music.

At http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ it said the test worked. I have already completed the firewall configuration instructions and deleted NIV from my computer since it was an older version and it seems NIV has lots of problems with LW.

I use windows XP, windows firewall, 1gb ram, 40gb hard disk avail, internet through ethernet at school(cable ?), using limewire 4.12.6 and java 1.5.0_02, IE as ISP, the test at http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ worked, and yes i see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface.

any help is appreciated, i have no idea what to do...

Thanks,
Ryan
