Your friend has a variable ip number and you have a static one. These things are determined by your respective isps. I am talking about the number before the colon [:] I am not aware that the Port number (after the colon) would normally change of its own accord.

Let me know if this helps

Hey there, I thought her port # after colon would stay the same but changes every time she connects to Limewire, my port is always same. Would it help if I change my port number to hers on that day? Are we ever destined to direct connect or got to rely on luck. I'll start checking every day to see if it stay the same now. Thanks for input.....!
