Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) Moderators There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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. |

 Finally solved my connection problem I was finally able to track down the problem and got connected and wanted to share with you what I discovered because it may help others. The problem was one of the settings in my Norton Internet Security. The problem had to do with the Personal Firewall. I could leave Personal Firewall on, but on the Programs Tab - Manual Program Control I had LimeWire set at Block All. It worked when I changed this setting to Permit All. In the end I solved the problem on my own, but I do appreciate the responsiveness you showed along the way. Thanks.  |

 Hi David, If you have time, it'd be very helpful if you were able to document the steps you took and take some screenshots along the way. We can compile a list of rules for each program and list them on the website for future users. |

| It's hard to beat the old ones, huh ?.... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=25119 No offense to anyone but it really is worth it to LW users to have a look at the BearShare help pages on firewall settings. At least a couple of thousand or so have read it !!!

| What if I replicate the page or something similar with LW substituting the Bearshare name. I'm not sure how to load a html page page up here anyway. Particularly when I don't have a personal active site up online. |

| I can think of about 6 - 8 volunteer type people, who worked their lower soft posterior parts off in creating the original, who would probably be quite pissed-off if you did just lift it for 'the Competition' !  Last edited by ursula; November 28th, 2004 at 01:29 PM. |

| You know them. lol Yeah actually I was trained not to steal (plus that being the net law 'here' w/o prior permission of course.) But apparently in the USA that same rule doesn't apply to sites that don't make profit out of it. I certainly ain't getting any profit out of it. Not unless LW wishes to volunteer some funds my way. lol  I'm not sure it should take 6-8 people to set up the process & write the page. Not unless each one was taking it in turns to add a one & a zero & a one & so on. lol Sounds like a count in to a song. I would have to be a percussionist wouldn't I. OK point taken. But the other obvious alternative is to add their link as well as Symantics' - which is not as straight forward for the average person. It was actually the latter link that was holding me back from stickying it in the 1st place - I was still deciding. If DavidGene could take some snapshots for each step & even email them to me I could fit them up into a handy page. And he could be the official author of it. DavidGene pm me that he sorted the issue himself & I suggested to him to post it so it'd be of benefit to others. He should be congratulated.

| Darth Vinnie & His FAQSlaves ! The user mendacious quality of the Norton site is the reason why I suggest to people that they will learn the basics far quicker, and thus be connected sooner, if they have a look at the BS FAQ page on firewalls... ---------------------------------- er.... Actually it was a group of 6 - 8 volunteers who produced the entire FAQs... They are certainly the best of any I know of and are full of info applicable to many other p2p clients and applications in general ! That Darth Vinnie sure does have a way with his slaves, huh ? |

| And they've done a great job!!! By the way, Dare I say it I believe Vinnie & another here ... no I shouldn't say it. You know what I mean. lol That's history. I've been on dialup for the past 8 hrs what a pain. More updating of tele services in around the state. Just as well they have a backup.
