Connection Problem
 

Every so often when I connect to Limewire, I get this message saying that i have no active internet connection or my firewire is blocking something. I am using Limewire through a router (Netgear RP614) and I keep getting kicked off the internet when using Limewire. I have to keep unplugging the router and replugging it back in. I've went a day without using Limewire thinking it was something else and I narrowed it down to Limewire. Is my problem with the router? Is there a firewall that is blocking my connection with Limewire and the internet connection? Please help. Thank you.
