Can't get a connection

I'm running Xp Pro with Norton Personal FW directly connected to a Belkin F5D7231-4P wireless router via a cable modem. Windows firewall is deactivated. Routers firewall is disabled and a port setup to allow GNUtella through the router. If I connect to the cable mode and bypass the router I can connect fine, this rules out a problem with Nortons FW. When connected to the Belkin router I cannot connect. The routers log shows multiple entries:
Sun Feb 26 20:21:58 2006 1 Blocked by DoS protection
Sun Feb 26 20:22:03 2006 1 Blocked by DoS protection
Sun Feb 26 20:22:06 2006 1 Blocked by DoS protection
Sun Feb 26 20:22:06 2006 1 Blocked by DoS protection

The router seems to interpret the connection attempts as a Dos attack. Does anyone who has a Belkin router seen this problem or know how to fix it? The routers FW feature is disabled so it should not be trying to block DoS attacks.

Does anyone know how to get arounf this problem?
