Default Connection Problems - surprise surprise

Hello - I keep getting the pop up box saying no internet connection or a firewall blocking it. Please help.

1. OS version? Windows XP

2. What firewalls you have? Just the Windows one - the box is ticked that allows Limewire through, and I've also tried turning it off entirely.

3. How much ram? Not sure - enough/a lot I think

4. Hard Disk space available? Same again

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)Broadband

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I have UK Homechoice, the laptop just plugs into the set-top box.

7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Appartment

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) The latest one, I've tried reinstalling numerous times.

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) Home Choice, used to be Wanadoo.

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? it say's "Your test worked!"

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No.

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem with experienced user.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?Yes i do, it went away once yesterday but it has been constantly there otherwise since the problem started.

Thanks very much.
