Unhappy Mac OS 10.4.11 Cant Connect

Hi Guys

I am using Limewire Pro on my G5 Mac (OS 10.4.11) which I have always been able to connect with, but suddenly it is unable to connect, giving me the same "starting connection" message that a lot of people are getting.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Mac OS 10.4.11
2. What firewalls you have? None active
3. How much ram? 2.5gb
4. Hard Disk space available? 56gb
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) BT Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? BT 2wire
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Work
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 4.14.10, Java 1.5.0_07
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? BT
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? Didnt work - server stopped responding
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Two macs, 1 PC, no other P2P
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Been using LW with no problems for several years
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image Yes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPnP is enabled
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall none
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). England

Any help you can give would be much appreciated, as I miss my LW
