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.

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 don't have to remove a firewall, unless you have 2 running (only run 1 or it'll cause probs). Just make sure your firewall's configured for LW. Instructions for it here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=51357 Firewall probs can also be due to modems/routers having an internal firewall. There's info in the thread...see if your router has a NAT firewall. If your router uses UPnP, it should be turned on in the unit & also ticked within LW (tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Tick use UPnP & apply). Do the port test & see what result you get (see link). If this isn't any help, tell us your details OS(Win XP etc) LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) Firewall you're using Modem/router brand & model ISP Connection type (DSL etc) Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Is this your first try with LW  |

 More Furious Here Is everything I can possibly tell you..... My computer is a Dell....Microsoft with Windows XP..Intel I have McAfee Anti Virus program I have only one computer which is a notebook and used primarily in the home. It is not connected to any other computer. I use currently modem/dial up service. I just put back up my firewall for protection, since deleting it had no results. I did the bug report as per your advice and it was fine no problems. I had changed the port manually to see if it would make a difference and it hasn't. As I have told you before when i went into tools and into view example it did say False not True. I don't know what else I can tell you. I did everything that your Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall problem told me to do step by step with no results... So what more can I possibly tell you....More or less I did EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING I was supposed to do with no results at all.... I need some expertise ASAP.... |

| Please give this information as per my first reply. If anyone's going to be able to help you, they need specifics. For example, saying you have a modem isn't enough. As you see below, we need to know the brand & model. If this isn't any help, tell us your details OS(Win XP etc) LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) Firewall you're using Modem/router brand & model ISP Connection type (DSL etc) Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Is this your first try with LW Did you do the port test? What was the result? Did you find out whether your modem uses NAT? |

| Maybe you can help me...Its been one month, and still nobody on this site has been able to help me. Limewire freezes my modem everytime it starts to connect. OS - Win XP LW & Java version - LW 4.10.9 Java 1.5.0_06 Firewall - No idea...not windows though Modem/router brand & model - Modem - Sprinte 660 series Router - Belkins with Belkin wireless adatpter ISP - AOL, Sprint Connection type (DSL etc) - DSL Where you connect from (home, school etc) - Home Are you sharing a connection with other computers - Yes...one master... and this one is routed through it with Belkins wireless router. Is this your first try with LW - no..it worked at first...just stopped. |

| I'm sorry but I don't think I'm going to be much help. The only other thread I can find that's remotely like your prob is http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...=modem+freezes Maybe it's a problem that stems from AOL?? I know some people have trouble with LW because of AOL's Pest patrol. Have you called Sprint & asked a tech? It might be some setting within the modem? Did you make any changes before LW stopped working? Maybe someone else will read this & have a few ideas  Not sure if it'll make any difference but I read that your modem uses UPnP. Do you have it turned on & ticked within LW? Have you done the port 6346 test in this thread? Go through everything in here & make sure you're configured properly http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=51357 Last edited by birdy; March 8th, 2006 at 02:04 AM. |
