i honestly have tried everything you could think of: moved limewire into firewall exception list, enabled the uP2P on my Linksys router...

my Limewire still will not show any search results. it will open correctly and say it has a connection, but when i search it just says "connecting..." and then stops searching. i am so completely frustrated. i've used limewire for years before on this same computer, and now all of a sudden it stops working? i cannot say for sure, but i think it may have stopped working after a bought the linksys router, so it may be that? PLEASE help me...i'm so frustrated and i feel like i'm banging my head against a wall.

these are my system details:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows Vista, administrator account
2. What firewalls you have? Norton 360, but i have put Limewire in the exceptions list
3. How much ram? 4.00 GB
4. Hard Disk space available? 10.5 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? (eg: Linksys WRT54Gv4) Linksys WRT120N
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? apartment complex
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 5.5.14 Java 1.6.0_21
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Charter
10. Click on this port test link & tell us what happens. If you see "Success" listed at very top left of screen, then at least this port is not blocked for you. If you cannot reach this page, then something is blocking this test page or this connection port. : i cannot reach the page. it just keeps searching.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? 3 other people go through the modem, but they are not using p2p
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. : new problem with experienced user
13. (a) Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface (only for LW 4 users)? _ (b) How many red or grey or green bars do you see at bottom left of LW's screen? (all red or grey or only 1 or 2 green bars means disconnected)_ : it varies, but most of the time i have 1-3 green bars.
