These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

| Greg, I just checked my cable company's network status and here's what they're presently saying: "Date Entered: 07/13/2001 03:27:12 PM PDT There is IP renumbering planned for West. In order to restore your connection after the scheduled service, please do a Release/Renew or reboot your system. The maintenance will begin 07/18/2001 03:00:00 AM PDT." I wouldn't pay that much attention to the date they say it will begin. They've misrepresented similar events before. Could this "IP renumbering" be what's causing my bearshare/limewire problems? Please keep in mind that I used to use bearshare with no problem, until I recently upgraded my BearShare v2.2.4 to v2.2.6. When that bombed, I switched to LimeWire but that wasn't working either. |

| Not if you rebooted and ensured that your connection was working. If you have a Wi***/98/ME type computer, you might want to look for the newdotnet.dll problem. See the sticky forum and try to uninstall that. -greg |

 I've completely removed BearShare but I still can't get any LimeWire connections! What is this?!?! I don't usually have problems trying to install a new piece of software. Frustrating. Any answers out there that will get my LimeWire up and running, as my old BearShare v2.2.4 used to work? HELP!!! |

| I'm having the same problem. After using Limewire for several weeks, I suddenly constantly get "Disconnected / no files available" next to the connect button, even if it shows "Disconnect," which it normally does if I'm connected. I haven't changed any setting, so I can't figure out where this problem is originating. I'm using an iMac with a 56k modem. There's something vewy scwewy going on here... |

| I don't have an answer. If you have tried all the possible connection points (www.gnutellanews.com) and you were able to connect before then it could be a new problem. Can you folks run the LimeWire with a console window to get any error messages? Maybe adam knows the trick for that. I'll find out tomorrow. You also may want to try some new betas that we put out. -greg |

 I'm beginning to suspect that it might be a problem on my computer's end. Perhaps I inadvertantly deleted a file needed for connection. The reason I suspect such is that I'm also currently not able to get a connection with MSN Explorer, where I used to connect no problem. Maybe if I reinstall MSN Explorer, it will provide the file I deleted. Maybe. I'll let you know if that was it when I get a chance to try. -Leo |
