Default Connection problems

Shareaza works but limewire doesn't. I just get 1 bar and a brick wall. I have configured zone alarm to allow it through. Have tried with ZA and virus scan off.

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW4.14.10 Java 1.6.1_02
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Paradise
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 works
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No
