Can't connect to any downloads anymore

[4evrGApeach]

I recently reformated my hard drive and have just reinstalled limewire and now I can't get any files to connect and download. I think this may be a newer version than I had before. I have read MANY of the posts on here and tried everything but nothing is working. Any suggestions?

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have? Verizon Security (but I allow LW, and even before I downloaded that program I still couldn't connect)
3. How much ram? Not sure
4. Hard Disk space available? Not sure, but more than enough I know
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Westell Versa link 327 W
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.12.11 and 1.5.0_11
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Verizon
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 says that it works
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No/none
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem, been using LW for years
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
