Default Limewire behind a firewall only in the afternoon

Can anyone please help me?
Limewire use to work perfect until recently when it appears behind a firewall...The strange this is that windows firewall is allowing Limewire and it seems to work only in the mornings?
I have tried turning off firewall and turning it on etc..following the Limewire firewall process but it doesn't work. Its very annoying and I dont know how to fix it.

Thanks

It sounds like your ISP is only allowing p2p traffic during certain times of day. See this thread for more info:

If you still need more help, post your details:

Good Luck

Thanks Dan,

It seems like these people have the same problem as me from about 12pm the firewall comes up and you can no longer use it. Its not just limewire its all other file sharing programmes. Im not a computer wiz, is there a more simple way to explain how to change it if at all? The test page shows 'your test has worked'

Im using Windows XP
Windows firewall
Broadband (Tiscilli)
Limewire verion 4.13.8 Beta
I've been using Limewire for years and never had this problem
Spy Doctor Virus (Limewire is always allowed)

Any way that you find to beat your ISPs P2P throttling will only be temporary, therefore I suggest you find yourself another ISP.
