lol it turns out i'm completely screwed up. When i asked my dad he SAID that it was THE brightnet firewall meaning the firewall between us and brightnet. It's actually some linksys firewall or something that you can manipulate, not the one that brightnet themselves said sucked for programming. I then found out that i actually didn't know my IP as well. Apparently the router for (at least our) DSL modems assigns you a network IP automatically that windows mistakes for your actual IP. To find out your real IP go to http://www.ipchicken.com/.
