Ok so heres the story:
I have a Belkin Wireless Router, and I've had this exact same product in the past with no issues. Anyways, its been working fine, but for some reason after 6 hours of having limewire open i lost my connection. Now everytime I open limewire I lose my cable connection (Cable modem hooked up to the wireless router). If I recycle the router everything works again.
I am a patient guy, but then I contacted Belkin tech support. It took me a good 20 minutes to final connect with someone and things were ok at first. Then he had me go into my router settings and open up DMZ or something like that, and then I got disconnected. I called back, got the same guy and hes like "oh yeah you got disconnected" and he laughed hysterically for like 30 seconds. Then he started having me do something again and disconnected. I called back and got someone else, and I told him what happend and he said they were having "System upgrades" and there might be some problems with disconnects...obviously i knew somethign was up but i was positive and assumed this guy wouldnt be a jerkoff...but then i got disconnected.
Then i called AGAIn, and it was a "girl" but it sounded like the first guy I talked to disguising his voice. Then "she" asked what my problem was and I'm like dont you have it in front of you? "yes, I see you have problem with the limewire, what is this limewire?"
I went off...i told them a few choice words, hung up...and im furious. I plan on taking care of that issue later...
So back to the original problem - does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried connecting my pc directly to the cable modem and it works without problem...so i know it is the router. I've also directly wired my computer via cat5 to the router and it has the same issues as I do when using it wireless.
I am so furious right now and would appreciate any help you guys can give me!
Thanks
Keith
