i did all the steps but i couldn't get the IP browser page to load

Usually when the test page doesn't work it means your being blocked by your ISP...
Have you been doing heavy downloading ??
Maybe you have popped up on Verizons radar as a heavy downloader...
Try giving them a call and see what they say...

i entered the static ips that i created and none brought me anywhere. I entered my actual ip and it brough me to verizons sign on page but the username password combo doesnt work for them. What do i do?

Did you enter this IP into your browser ...By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.0.1.
Don't enter the static IP number into your browser...

Try contacting Verizon and ask them what them what the user name and password is for your modem/router...

when entering the information to set up the port there are several things that differ from the guide. What do i put for: Networked computer, protocol (TCP AND UDP AREN'T OPTIONS AND THATS WHAT THE PORT FORWARDING WEBSITE INSTUCTED), wan connection type, forward to port, and when should this occur. I'm almost there, your help is very appreciated.

Did you click on the little Add option and then Add Server Ports ??

You should then see the TCP box and enter the port number you chose..
Then you click on Add again and then the Add Server Ports again...
Then you select the UDP box and add the same port number as the TCP box...
And then select Add again...phew...lol...

Then click the Ok button.

Select Specify Address from the Networked Computer/Device list.

Enter the ip address to forward these ports to into the Networked Computer/Device box.

If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on your computer, you should enter your computer's ip address into that box.

Leave Wan Connection Type set to All Broadband Devices.

Leave Forward Port To set to Same as Incoming Port.

Leave When should this rule occur set to Always.

Click the Ok button

this is what comes up after clicking ad and it doesn't let me pick the port. I tried filling out all that i could with my regular ip (not the static one right? what'd I make that for anyways?), no public ip, but it still wouldn't connect to limewire. Again, I really appreciate you trying to help me out.
