Default Downloading issue, most likely a firewall problem.

Yes, I know of the search option and have used it. I'm nowhere near a computer savvy, so the posts I came across were just jibberish to me. :/ I'm hoping someone has the time to walk me through things? OK so, here's my problem;

I'm able to download songs perfectly fine, download takes no more then 30 seconds. But when I go to download a movie, I'm stuck at connecting for 30 minutes and then it goes to "Waiting on busy host". Yes, LW says I'm behind a firewall, but the only firewall I know of is shut off. I'm aware, now, that my modem/router may have a firewall aswell, but I'm not aware of how to shut that off. Any tips would be appreciated. (:

ISP: Insight Broadband.
Modem: RCA #DCM425
Router: Belkin #F5D7230-4

You are connecting fine and the "waiting on busy hosts" means that there is a queue for that file and your in it...

It would be best though to Port forward to let limewire pass through the Nat firewall your router has...
These are the instructions...

Alright, I've gotten through all of that now, including all of the steps of setting up a static IP, but on the last step of port forwarding i've ran into a problem..
The image/information on the page doesnt match up to the "virtual servers" page of my router. I've attempted signing up for the website you linked me to, but I havent recieved my password.
Any ideas?
