Default Connecting to the network

ahhh!!!!

i have limewire on my pc at home and use regularly never had any problems with it.

tried bout a month ago to download it on my laptop and it gives me the same "connecting to the network, may not return results" type msg.
its so annoying!!
i have uninstalled my anti-virus and made it an exception in the windows firewall but still only have one green bar.

please please help!!ive been thru the faq and help on this also

im so confused

any help would be much appreciated

1. OS version? Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have? wINDOWS
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? IMS-iNTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER, TUT SYSTEMS ROUTER
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? APT
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LIMEWIRE 4.14 AND JAVA 1.6
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? IMS
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? TEST WORKED
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. DONT THINK SO
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. FIRST TRY WITH THIS COMP IN THIS APT
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? YES!!

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall had avg but just uninstalled it
