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.

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. |

| Second DNS IP? foolofthehill - What do you mean by the second DNS IP? The handbook I have that tells me how to configure my router only gives me one number to type in that should supposedly lead me to a login screen. The number I am using is shown in the properties as this: IP Address:xxx.xxx.x.xx Subnet Mask:xxx.xxx.xxx.x Default gateway:192.168.1.1 Preferred DNS Server:xx.xx.xx.xx Alternate DNS Server:xxx.xx.xx.xxx I am using the number in default gateway, 192.168.1.1, which is also the number given in the users guide for my router. |

| foolofthehill Follow the instructions at the link below. And by the way the default the username is admin, and the password is conexant for model 2-2-8-1 and By default the username is admin, and the password is epicrouter for model n791 . There are only 2 Conexant router listed so you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.  http://portforward.com/english/route...-1/default.htm http://portforward.com/english/route...1/Limewire.htm If you are running Windows XP follow the instructions at the link below for setting up a static IP. http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm

| Okay, first of all thanks to all of you who showed interest in my problem and wanted/want to help me. I really appreciate it (This strong, smart and always helpful community here is one reason why I come here almost daily. It is a great place to learn things and it gives me the opportunity to lend a helping hand -though not as much as you all can- to those who have problems). Grandpa, I went through all the suggestions and links posted (and yes, I'm running XP). The default gateway IP is the same as my computer IP (though it is dynamic and changes every day). So, I tried this one in the browser address but ended up with FireFox not being able to load it. And just to make sure, I tried it as well with IE; same result. But I accidentally typed a wrong IP at my first attempt and got to a page which was for log in and had already the username typed in as "admin" and also a password "****". So, I clicked on "login" without changing something, but the side just reloaded. Then I tried the both passwords suggested, but again, just a reloading of the page. When trying to set up the static IP in my network connection, I'm ending up with a screen quite different to the one shown at "Portforwarding" (see screen shot "Internet Protocol TCP/IP). No Subnet Mask and no Default Gateways. The only thing what I know now for sure is that I am firewalled (funny that I didn't realize this before, though I've seen it many times) -see gif "Network connection screen shot", although LW, FW and Phex do not recognize a firewall. Any further suggestions at this point???

| What address are you typing into your browser your default is not 192.168.1.1 it is 10.0.0.2. Read all of the instructions on the links I gave you.. When you tried to set up a static IP did you go to Start then choose Run and type command into the box. And once the DOS prompt opened did you type ipconfig /all It is important that you put a space between the ipconfig and the forward slash /. It should have shown a ip address like 10.0.0.100 or something like that. The ip address needs to go into the box where it says use the following ip address. I am not sure what router you have for sure and it sure would help if I did. Look all over the router and see if you can find a model number.

For the second part please see the picture I've taken with my webcam. But to be honest, I start doubting that the piece connected to my computer is a router at all, since all pictures I've seen so far have quite a different appearance. However, what I can see/get as information about this part is KingCom Conexant AccessRunner USB ADSL WAN Model K505 And if there weren't the information (see again the picture of 'Network connection screen shot" ) that it is Firewalled, I'd hardly believe that such a little thing could have a firewall. But as I said, sometimes I feel Like Don Quichot fighting the windmills of La Mancha when it comes to computers. So, please don't bash me if it turns out that my suspiciousness was reasonable.....
