Plugging in my iPhone disables my wireless adapter.

I am using a PC with a Belkin Wireless Adapter. My internet will be working perfectly, then I plug my iPhone in to run updates and suddenly my internet connection is gone. It is like it completely disables my adapter. I have to unplug the phone, remove the adapter, then plug the adapter back in to get my internet connection back.

I just want to update my phone!

Help??!

iPhone 4, Windows XP

I have the same problem exactly but with a linksys usb adapter! mine never did this until a few days ago.I think it actually was after I tried to create a home wireless network between PC and laptop. cant say for sure. just simply unplugging iphone from PC wont allow wireless adapter to work again. even if you click repair for the adapter. you have to unplug the wireless adapter and plug it back in before it will work again. come to think of it I even restarted PC and it did not reactivate adapter. would love some input for a fix.
