Limewire connects - Browser doesn't

[wollman]

This seems to be the opposite problem as everyone else...

I'm using an iBook G3 10.4.3. My apartment building is networked and I'm using a wireless router.

I just got an external harddrive and while transferring my files I began downloading from limewire. After a while I noticed my internet connection was lost, but limewire was still working.

After restarting my computer, limewire worked but my web browser didn't.

I've restarted my router. Removed limewire. Restarted my computer. Nothing works. Limewire continued to work until I removed it. My neighbor's wireless network is up, and I can use it so I know it's not the apartment's network.

I ran network diagnostics, and even though limewire was working it could not detect an internet connection.

The only things I haven't tried are restarting the apartment's network and bypassing my router to just use an ethernet connection.

Any suggestions? This is weird...
