Default Starting Connection - Download problems

Hi again, I've just bought a new laptop with Vista on and I've installed LW but I'm not having any luck connecting. The status at the bottom left corner shows Starting Connection. I've opened up the ports, still no change. I've tried connecting whilst both firewall and anti-virus are disabled but again, still no joy. I can't understand why it's doing this. I've checked Java and it is 1.6. I've done a full system anti virus scan, an adaware scan, emptied temporary files just in case. What's left to try now? Please help!!

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98,XP.SP2. )? VISTA
2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall, AVG Free antivirus
3. How much ram? 1024MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 100GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)? Wireless Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Inventel - Wanadoo/Orange Broadband Wireless
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW4.10.5 Java1.6.0
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Orange
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? Your test Worked!
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Other computers on in the house, tried connecting with them both on and off but it has never been a problem before. Other computer is still able to connect to LW.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? Used this version of LW for a long time, had problems when I rebooted my XP laptop a while back but started working all of a sudden. Same problem with starting again now.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes - it's always there, even when it works.
