Connection-Please help
 

My connection is not going through. It keeps running but never connects. I have the most updated version (2.2.0.0) and am working on Windows XP. I have also taken down my firewall. I have used this for months now and just recently lost connection.

I have been reading others responses about ports and Limeware.
Is any of this necessary to correct my problem? And if so, could someone walk me through this?
