Solution
Hi All,
I just received my phone a day ago and was having the same problem; it just sat at "Starting Download" when I tried to pull down apps. I noticed I had no issue when connected to 3G or 4G network, so I figured the issue was related to my wireless network. Once I made the change in my firewall to allow traffic on certain ports it totally fixed the issue.
Here is what worked for me:
Set your firewall to allow UDP and TCP traffic for port 5228 (this is the port the android market uses). Make sure you allow in and outbound traffic. If you also notice you are having problems with Google Talk after allowing port 5228, you might want to play around with allowing port 443 and 5222, which are the google talk ports, but I really don't think you should have to do that.
Hope this helps, good luck!
