It seems possible that you are authenticating yourself on startup against your friend running as an ultrapeer (or someone else on SBC Yahoo) and this ISP uses one set of IPs internally whereas the broader internet sees you as a different IP.

Could be a multi-IP nat issue and if so, we have never really addressed that issue in LimeWire. Basically the same as having a large corporate network and then the public internet.

Interesting idea... please explain more...

We don't specify untrapeer in our LimeWire configs...
We're both running as a normal leaf nodes...
What's invoking this authentication? Is it LimeWire, or is it being done at some other layer?
Why is it being done? How can we disable it?
I do not know about any authentication in this context. I'd like to know more...

This should be a very normal config. Two SBC-Yahoo!-DSL Home Network customers, connecting normally to the internet via standard off-the-shelf products and services...
