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.

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. |

 Connection Problems Hi, i've been on Limewire for about a week now and have only had connection problems in the last couple of days. I haven't installed a Firewall only PAL Antivirus. I installed the jar as suggested which didn't seem to work. i kept shutting down and starting up and now i'm connected but the connection says poor quality. Pleas help, i'm quite clueless about all this stuff, don't know the jargon.  |

| Did you try deleting your Limewire (LW) preferences? To find them do a search on your computer for limewire. Your LW Prefs are in a folder called .limewire Delete the entire folder. (FOr mac that's a single file called .limewire. When LW is open, click Tools->Options & go to Bug report & click for an example. In the window that appears scroll down to the part that says: "Recieved incoming this session". If it says ‘True’ then LW has no problem with firewalls, but if 'False' it does have a prob. For macosx that is LW's Prefs & Bug Report, & for OS9 that's Options & Bug Report (I think.) |

| help!!! at the end of my rope! :''( OSX user...can't connect worth anything! :'( Hey all...I've been reading the possible fixes for the connect probs and I have tried them all and nothing! I'm so frustrated! I'm using mac OSX version 10.3.5 I can open it and it has the lil green bar that constantly says 'connecting' occassionaly it will go up to 'poor' for like a second then back down to 'connecting' although obviously i never can do anything. I've tried deleting preferences, unchecking tips, etc. etc. and gone into system prefs making sure the port was available thruogh the firewall. I dunno...I need some serious help! If anyone knowing bout this prob. on mac osx could shed some light on this i'd greatly appreciate it!!! thanks! |

| dzine, as a Mac user, I suggest you disable your firewall completely: Macs don't need them as much as PCs. Now, where are you trying to connect from? Home? Work? School/university? Launch LW and go to the preferences. Go to the Bug Reports section and click the button for an example. In the window that appears you'll find somewhere along the lines this written: "Recieved incoming this session". If it says false (if true, then you're ok, firewall-wise), then there's a firewall blocking LW, and since your OS X firewall either allows LW or is disabled, then it's because you are trying to connect from somewhere else than home and that they people who own the connection don't want P2P, so they bock it. No "legit" way around that. If that still isn't your case (I mean that you can't connect but you are using a home connection) then it's possible that it's your ISP who is responsible for blocking P2P. You can try calling them to ask them what's the deal.

| Help me Lord of the Rings! Quote:
Mine says "False" but I feel like I've done everything I can to disable firewalls. I run Windows XP and also have Zone Alarm. Zone alarm is configured to allow connections from Limeware. Is there anything else that needs to be done? i also have Norton Anti-virus. Would this cause a problem in any way? I haven't had any problems connecting before. It seems that it jsut happened all the sudden. I checked and I do have SP2 installed. hopefully with this information you can help me. I really like this program and want to be able to use it again. Thanks! -Ginny |

| Norton Anti-virus doesn't block anything (aside form virii of course) when it comes to connections. I'd like to ask where are you trying to connect from? (work, university, home...)
