Default PC Loses Internet Connection When Limewire Starts

Ok, I'm at my wit's end here with Limewire. Everything was fine until about a month ago. I'm running XP SP2, my internet provider is WOW (Wide Open West), and I'm using a Belkin Wireless G Router.

I have not changed anything on my PC in a long time, and all of the sudden I started having problems.

When I *try* to connect to Limewire, my PC loses the internet connection and I have to restart my router. I cannot use Limewire because of this. My Windows firewall is configured to allow Limewire and Gnutella. 3 times, I was able to delete the .limewire folder located in "C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire", and it worked fine. But now, that folder is no longer present on my PC, so I can't delete it.

Since I have to reboot the router after I lose the connection, I'm thinking it's a router problem. But Belkin's website doesn't offer much for support. It's a Wireless G Router 2.4Ghz, 802.11g. That's about all that I know about it. Is there an IP address I can type into my Internet Explorer to tweak the router settings?


Any suggestions?
