Default Connection Problem

Hi, I recently got a new computer with Vista Home Premium. I installed Limewire version 4.12.6 but it wont connect past the first bar. I looked in the connections tab and there is nothing there. There is a Brickwall infront of the blue world. Ok ill stop talking now and give you the list:
1. OS version? Windows Vista Premium

2. What firewalls you have? Zonealarm 7.1.078.000

3. How much ram? 2 GB

4. Hard Disk space available? 164 GB

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ADSL 768KB

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? D-Link 524 and Westell Modem 6100

7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 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. LW: 4.12.6 and Java 1.6.0_02

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Bellsouth/AT&T (not sure b/c of the merger)

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? Your Test Worked!

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Nope

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Used it with windows XP for a few years

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I have a bridged modem over to my router but not sure about port forwarding or UPnP.

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Priyank/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG] AVG Free Edition 7.5.476

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

Thanks a TON, PvpMan22
