Comcast Cable, Belkin Router

Hello everyone. I've searched high and dry for a solution to my issue, and my adventure now brings me here. I called Comcast and they just give me their crappy procedure that does basically nothing. I have Comcast digital cable, using a Motorola cable modem, and a Belkin router which goes to 3 computers via Ethernet cables, and 2 computers using Belkin wireless cards.

So here is my issue, which I'm trying to find a good way to explain it...
Ok, sometimes it works fine. All 5 computers work great, there is no issue. Every once in awhile, something mysterious happens. Every computer is capable of downloading through torrents, limewire, whatever, but browsers do not connect (Firefox, IE). If trying to connect to an online game (WarCraft III for example), nobody can connect.

My only solution, and where it gets wierd... if I reset the router, then browsers will work for a few seconds, and we can connect to online games. If we connect to a game, then it will remain connected until we log out, then we cannot log back in. If I minimize the game, and try to connect my browser, it will just give me the error loading page message. Reset the router again, it works for a minute or two.

So, can anyone help me out here? Right now my only solution is to CONSTANTLY reset my router when it does this, and of course this becomes pretty tedious. I have 3 belkin routers, all the same model, and they all do this. If I connect the modem directly to one computer, then the internet works fine.

Router: Belkin Wireless G Router - 2.4Ghz-802.11g, Model: F5D7230-4
Modem: Motorola SURFboard Cable Modem, Model: SB5101
