connection problems

[swiftrod]

Hi, can someone please give me some assistance, I would be eternally gratefull......

Recently bought Belkin ADSL modem router F5D7632uk4 and I am sharing the broadband connection with my son. Since installing this device Limewire rarely connects to the network as it used to.
The connection bars go up and down all the time, sometimes being on 1 bar and sometimes they even go to 5 bars but they do not stay fully connected. My friend brought round his lap top and had the same problem I am having when connecting to my network!

I am running a new high powered Dell Dimension 9100 on windows XP service pack 2, I have 1 Gig of memory and 160Gig hard drive, the very latest version of Limewire and the latest version of Java. I also have Norton Security 2005 and it is configured to allow limewire full access, XP's firewall is switched off and the new router is UPNP compliant. When I plugged in my old modem which is connected to Talktalk on a 512kb connection I had none of these problems. It just seems funny that on the odd occasion I can connect and download using the router. Also the Firewall symbol is present on limewire when I connect.

Would be really happy if you could help us out....
