You might want to check with your new ISP and see if they shape or throttle p2p...It could be a matter of certain times of the day...

Have you enable UPnP ??
Also try changing your listening port to something between 49152 - 65535..
Make sure the two of you are using different listening ports..
Did you both Port Forward ?? If so did you both use separate static IPs

Let us know how that goes...

the UPnP is enabled, i've changed the listening ports and they're both different, i've done port forwarding and everything else that has been suggested, i had a full five bars for a couple of hours yesterday but today i logged on and only got three bars, and that gradually dropped to one bar and now i've lost the connection, I dont understand why there is so much inconsistency in the connection, has anyone got any drastic measures?

i cant remember but i done port forwarding through the settings of the router or something, but basically the latest situation is that limewire will connect after i reset to the default settings but after a few hours the connection will go again, any ideas on how to solve this inconsistent connection?
