These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. 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. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. 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. |

 You mean u can't read 榆 ? Yeah hakisackman I don't know what's happened there. The most likely reason you're having problems is that you're connecting via the school network right? They'll have their own firewall & many schools deliberately block p2p use. However, see this! Which is in part related. Anyway check this thread & its link. Hope this helps.

Note however that LimeWire supports authentication on proxies only in Socks v4 and v5; secure authentication on HTTP proxies still does not work, and is quite complex to implement; there exists some third party tools that allow proxying locally connections to external proxies, to perform secure authentication on that remote proxy. There are tons of Internet connection methods. LimeWire developers make many efforts to support these, but this is a complex task. LimeWire works and is heavily tested to support the most common configurations, including direct Internet accesses, accesses through NAT routers and personnal firewalls. But what an organization can do on its LAN router to filter Internet accesses is out of control of LimeWire. Only your LAN administrator can help if you are in troubles, to get details about the exact configuration to setup (note also that some organization firewalls are extremely strict and won't let you do anything than basic HTTP for browsing (often through proxies), and even your emails must pass through a local central SMTP/POP3 service which is the only one allowed to connect to the Internet). In some cases, the configuration of proxies is hidden to you (you can't even get details about them in your Internet Explorer settings, or there's a enterprise "group policy" that restrict accesses to these parameters, that are distributed by the router automatically to the hosts connected on the Internet. If this is the case, only your LAN administrator can help you get the details. May be these details are hidden on purpose, because there's an enterprise policy that its Internet connection must only be used for your work, excluding all personnal activities: such company should have informed you about it, and your usage may be logged. Don't use LimeWire at your work to get access to resources on the Internet, unless you are given the authorization, and allowed to perform such activity during your working time. Such unauthorized usage places you at risk of being fired or fined in a court by your company: this is not YOUR network access, and a company pays for your working time, so you MUST comply to that local organization rules. Even at home, with your "own" Internet access, you must still comply with the ISP's terms of service, and you must take your own responsability about what you can and cannot do according to the TOS contract.

| Windows XP SP2 builtin firewall settings If you have recently downloaded and installed the Windows XP Service Pack 2, your connection to the network may fail now with the default settings of the builtin firewall. (1) If you already have another internal software firewall installed, or an external firewall in your router or on the Internet gateway for your LAN, you may simply avoid many problems by disabling the Windows XP SP2 builtin firewall (using 2 successive firewalls will just make your life more complicate: use and ajust the settings of the main firewall which has a direct connection on the Internet; Note that there's no security enhancement when using two local firewalls on the same hosts; The Windows XP SP2 firewall is still in beta and will prove its stability only in a few months, most probably in 1 or 2 years, and it also depends on another Windows service that you must enable, and is exposed to other security risks: The UPnP agent. (2) In other cases or if you still want to maintain the builtin firewall, you need to add "exceptions" for the ports needed to get incoming connections or incoming results via UDP in LimeWire. If you have not changed the default LimeWire settings, LimeWire expects to see incoming connections and UDP query/hits traffic on local port 6346. So you'll need to add the following exceptions in the Windows Firewall settings: * Name: "Gnutella (TCP)", Port 6346, protocol TCP * Name: "Gnutella (UDP)", Port 6346, protocol UDP * With some security configurations you may also need to allow the "limewire.exe" application to access the Internet (this can be done the first time you see the Windows Firewall alert that asks you whever LimeWire should connect to the Internet). The second one is needed to get faster results when querying the network, and allows better sharing of your files.
