Yay! I found a fix to my problem.
If you are having trouble connecting to renguard... and you are 100% sure you do not have a proxy or a firewall, than the issue could be a program on your computer preventing RenGuard from working correctly. The same issue holds true to other programs also... not just isolated to RenGuard.
For my situation, I had a virus on my computer that was redirecting all my network traffic through a third party Proxy... one that I did not control nor have any knowledge of. I discovered this after running out and picking up the latest McAfee software that discovered a proggy named "Proxy-OSS" in my systems folder.
After cleaning this program out, Whalla! Presto. RenGuard works as it should. So if the basic checks (Firewall settings, turn Proxy off, etc) dont work, try scanning your computer. If still no luck, attempt to locate the program by shutting down processes to see if any of them are interfering. I only reccomend attempting the later if you are confortable doing so.
If all else fails, call your ISP for information. After that, your just plain out of luck I guess, sorry.

I would like to thank everyone that tried helping and I hope this helps others as well.
