Default It keeps trying, but no go

Ok, I used Limewire for approximately one year. All of a sudden one day, it just simply wouldn't connect. My roomate, who uses the same internet connection (albeit wirelessly) connects just fine. The various hosts keep trying to connect, and give up within seconds. No Error message is ever given. If anyone can help, that would be amazing! my email is *email address removed* Here's the requested info below.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP.
2. What firewalls you have? I believe just windows and avast, but limewire keeps detecting one after shutting these off.
3. How much ram? n/a
4. Hard Disk space available? n/a
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) AT&T 6MB/S
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? AT&T
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home, hardwired to modem
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help bar > About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. _LW 4.18.8 Java 1.6.0_10
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? AT&T
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? Msg "Your Test Worked!"
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. One Roomate, Wireless Connect, using Limewire, no problems
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. First problem, somewhat experienced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Unknown
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Avast
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). US
17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc? Changed ISP about a month ago, but experienced this problem with old ISP as well. Newest version downloaded tonight.

Thanks a Million!
