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?

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.

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.
