Unhappy I can not connect

LW doesn't connect anymore.

2. What firewalls you have? Windows firewall (Disabled permently)& Alarm Zone Free
3. How much ram? 2.5Gig
4. Hard Disk space available? 320 GB

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? SpeedStream 5200-Series
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. Limewire 4.14.10 , java 1.6.0_02
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Windstream
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? Says “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. I been using limewire for 3 years. This is a new problem.
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? UPnP mode disabled port forwarding on IP Address 192.168.254.1
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Avast! Anti-Virus and Windows Defender
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

I have very little experance with a computer. I'm quite dumb when it comes to computers and
don't understand much. I have a mental disability and I get confused very easily.

Please help.
