Default My Internet connection drops when Limewire is opened...Help please

I just moved into my new apartment and my DSL through Verizon was just installed. When I open Limewire my internet browsers no longer work and I have to unplug the modem & router, close Limewire and reboot the computer before the internet works again.

Now, when I snag my neighbors wireless internet connection it works no problem, Limewire and internet browsing together (although somewhat slow due to the weak signal).

I should say that my problem is occuring even when nothing is being downloaded or there are no incomplete downloads or anything like that. Ive never had this problem on any other computer, what is going on?

What can I do, currently I have the MS Firewall activated but Limewire is an accepted/trusted site so that shouldnt be the issue. I did put 128bit encryption into my wireless signal through NETGEAR's Default gateway, could that be the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated, whatever additional info you need just let me know. Thanks again
