Internet Connection Slowdown Behind Belkin Router

This has me boggled.

I have a Model# F5D7230-4 Belkin 802.11g Wireless router Firmware Version 5.00.02. For testing purposes I have only my main computer connected to it with a Comcast Cable 6MB connection.

My problem? When I have the cable "modem" connected directly to my computer, I get the full 6MB of bandwidth (as reflected by speedtests and observing comparisons in downloads). However, when I have the cable "modem" connected to the WAN port on my router and my computer plugged into the #1 port on the router I get about 384KB download speeds. A huge drop.

Does anyone know what the problem is or has anyone had this problem with this router or another brand/version? I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks
