New and can not connect?

I just joined last night, and can not seem to connect to the network at all! I've been googling possible solutions, but most of the suggestions seem to be from around early 2011 at latest, and not for the 4.1 update.

@Aivilo:
This doesn't seem to have changed anything, but thank you for the advice!

You aren't connecting to the network for some reason. There are three colors for that dot - red, orange, and green. Red is not connected at all - orange is a partial connection or connected without being logged in - and green is a full connection.
I'd double-check the firewall settings and maybe reset the router/modem and see if that helps.
What OS are you running?
