First thing first, you can type in http://apex (assuming you keep you apex the same default name), and you can see your Apex controller's status page right?
If so, go to your belkin's setup page. There should be a port mapping page. I have since changed to a different router now. Can't point you to exactly where that is. Basically, that page would ask you your apex's IP address and the port number. For the outside port, just put in some big port number (i.e. 8080). Once you do that, you should be able to get to your apex from outside using http://<your real IP>:8080

No, not at all. Sounds like it has nothing to do with your router or ISP yet. SOunds like your apex is not configured correctly yet...
I think you need to follow the apex manual and try to get it setup and find out it's IP, ID/PW first...

Jfannin,
I had a similar issue of not connecting to apex. Go into your apex display and go to netsetup menu. In there, you will find ip address of your apex. Just type that ip address in your browser window and you will be connected.
The whole port thing is only if you want to access it from outside of your network. Connect within your home network first and then I can help you connect it from outside.

The connection has timed out
The server at ###.###.#.## (my apex IP) is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

just got off the phone with Belkin and they had me change the IP address in the apex controller because i guess the original ip wasnt within range of the belkin. then i call apex because that didnt fix it and belkin said it should but he recaminded calling Apex. got ahold of Apex inc. and he had me reset the apex with the new IP and BLAM IT WORKS. he walked me through it in all of 2 min flat LOL
