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'm stummped...Are you sure you Port Forwarded correctly and where did you get the instructions to do so ???...Can you give me the link so I can have a look..

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?

plz ppl help me out, im getting really frustrated, i seem to be having a problem that seems quite common on the message board, limewire doesnt connect except on some occassions and when it does, it will lose the connection after a few hrs, i have supplied all my system details above, i cant find how to do port forwarding for a speedtouch 780, even though i dont know if it'll work because nothing seems to be working right now, plz plz plz help me out!

Here's the user guide for your router
http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/documentation/ST780WL/R610/UserGuide/HTML/SIP/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?single=false&context=ug&topic=init

Just from having a quick look, it seems very similar to this one listed on the port forward site
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Thomson-Alcatel/SpeedTouch536/Limewire.htm

Have a look through & compare them...if things look the same, you could follow the instructions for the SpeedTouch536. Don't forget to set up a static IP address first. You'll find a link for that within the portforward instructions.

thanks for that help with the port forwarding, sadly it doesnt seem to have made a difference, if anything i havent been able to get a connection for a few days which is the worst its been, im rapidly running out of ideas here and im about to give up, plz guys help me out

Did the static IP setup go ok? If the other computer's port forwarded, you'll have to have a different static IP than the other one has.

Did you make sure that your port forwarded within the router was the same as LW's listening port & the port in the 'manual port forward' field within LW's firewall config? All those port numbers have to be the same.

Is your listening port different to the listening port of the other computer? Don't use the same port number for both. Try using port 64049 & see what happens.
