Default Vista upgrade stopped LW

Hi,

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

All used to work well under XP, but since upgrading to Vista I can't get a connection. I have been through a number of the posts on this forum, but still can't get any joy. My setup is detailed below, just in case it is of use.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) – Vista Home Premium
2. What firewalls you have? – Zonealarm Security Suite
3. How much ram? – 2G
4. Hard Disk space available? – 26g on C & 36G on D
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) – Cable braodband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? – Modem – Virgin media E08C007 – Router – Belkin G+ Mimo – F5D9230-D
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, 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 4.1.4.8 , Java 1.6.0_02
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? - Virgin
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? – 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. – It used to work fine until I upgraded to Vista
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?
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/Pete/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]
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).
