Hey, i have been having the same problem as you. When limewire starts everything is fine until 30 seconds into the thing my whole internet dies out on me. The LED lights on my modem and router are fine. Each time this happens i have to unplug the router and plug it back in. its getting very annoying. i've installed the latest java 1.6, uninstalled reinstalled limewire several times and also deleted the .limewire folder, but its still happening. here are my specs:
