hey guys, just posting this msg as I'm at the end of my tether, I've tried absolutely everything to get limewire connected and absolutely nothing is working. I have used limewire in the past and it's been fine but I've recently moved to a new ISP called "Be", I started using limewire with this new ISP on friday and it was working fine for about an hour then there was only one green bar at the bottom, since then I have not been able to get a connection with limewire whatsoever apart from one bar which is useless.
There have been some occassional times where it has gone up to three bars but this is still useless as I cant get any search results or download anything. I've basically tried everything from port forwarding to checking if my router is UPnP enabled to changing the port on the advanced section of LW section and absolutely nothing is working. Anyway heres all my settings, really hope someone can help me out, thanks

yeah i've checked with my isp and they dont block isp's as mine was briefly working and another person in my house who is plugged into the same router can connect to limewire fine, any other suggestions guys im really gettin desperate....

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'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..
