Default Why Is Limewire Doing THIS?

Ok I will explain this as basically as I can, please read carefully.

I have 2 computers on my network. They are both connected to a Router, which is connected to a DSL modem.

Computer 1 is running Limewire.

Computer 2 is mine.

When computer 1 is running Limewire it is CONSTANTLY SENDING HUNDREDS of packets to my computer 2 on port 137 which gets blocked because of my software firewall. If Limewire is quit on computer 1 then computer 2 stops recieving the traffic.

Why is Limewire on computer 1 flooding port 137 on computer 2??? COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME I should not be recieving ANY traffic from the other computer, this DOES NOT make sense.
