Default Connecting

I am having problems connecting. I only get one green bar on bottom. I checked everything that I have found in previous posts and I was connecting fine up until this past Tuesday. I went to a friends house and they have a secure wireless network that I connected to. When I got home and tried to connect my unsecure network, everything worked except for Limewire. I deleted my hidden files and that didn't correct, I removed Limewire completely and reinstalled and that didn't correct it. I turned off my Windows Vista Firewall and removed Limewire and Shareaza from my exception list and that didn't work either. I'm not sure what else it could be. Any ideas???? Thanks in advance!!!
