Default Cant connect-Recently started using a router..? :(

I cant connect anymore, Im using LIMEWIRE PRO 4.10.5
It comes up and says "starting connection" but doesnt connect.
I THINK*This started when I started using a router so i think it may be blocking it. I had norton and everything before and it was fine. Can i still use it with a router or I cant aymore ?
Thanks for your help

You will have to either set it to UPnP or forward a port. See this thread for help: Connection problems? Check here first!.

If you run into problems, post back with the make and model of the router.

Try setting it up for UPnP. This site has instructions for doing it: http://support.dlink.ca/ProductFAQView.asp?FAQID=1004

Also in limewire go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config, make sure it's set for UPnP.

This one might be a better link:http://www.neovilla.com/d-link-upnp.html

Yes i did that and a window comes up, with admin as the username and a blank password field. When i click ok, it pops up again a few times then the page says "unauthorized"
