Default Very Slow Dowloads

I have been reading alot on here to improve my dowload speed, yet nothing is working. I have even called D-link and the program people for the software that I run my network on. nothing.. I am only downloading at 1KB slower than I was when I had dial up. I am now on cable...

1. OS version? Win 2K SP4
2. What firewalls you have? AVG
3. How much ram? 785,840 KB RAM
4. Hard Disk space available? 13.8 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Modem is Motorolla SB5101 and Router is D-Link Di-524
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. LW Version is 4.12.6 Java Version is 1.5.0_09
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Home Telephone
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? It says "PAGE CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED"
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I am sharing with another PC in my house using Cat5 wires and the software Network Magic.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I just re-loaded LW when I got my cable. I used to use LW all the time when I was on dial up until I got frustrated with the download speed.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? No brick wall and blue bars all lit up.

I really hope someone can help. I only got cable because I wanted to use Limewire.. I would appreciate any help... Thanks...
