Hello I have been a long time user of every P2P things and I recently put together a new gaming computer myself. Yet now it seems like most of my ports are blocked and I cannot connect to any P2P such as limewire or bittorrent.

2. What firewalls you have? Zone Alarm, Bitdefender, Windows: ALL DISABLED
3. How much ram? 1gb
4. Hard Disk space available? 220gb or so
5. Connection type? cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Motorola surfboard cable modem Model:SB5120
7. Where are you trying to connect from?home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.21.6 limewire and 1.5.0_03 Java
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Atlantic Broadband
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? my mozilla says the page was taking to long to respond meaning it was blocked of coarse
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? no no P2P programs will port
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. No I had limewire running many of times : new computer
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes i do.
Now as stated my ISP says they dont block ports as well as it works on my old computer anyway. No P2P will work and i've tested manually that most pots are blocked by something
Although I disabled every firewall including windows. Please I cant live w/o my P2P
