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. |

 Error pops up every second and freezes computer and lose all downloads...need help! Recently when I'm connected to limewire for about an hour or so an error pops up every second and it says... "Limewire is unable to connect to hosts on the Gnutella network. This is most often due to firewalls or content-filtering software blocking access to Gnutella (port 6346). Please review your firewalls options to allow Limewire to access teh Gnutella network or speak to your system administrator or ISP to determine if Gnutella traffic is being filtered," and unless I'm at the computer to constantly close the error box every second or restart limewire from scratch, all the errors will pile up and freeze my computer and also force me to lose all my current downloads. I've tried everything that I know of including downloading the newest versions of Limewire, speaking to my internet service provider, and asking Limewire directly however all have not helped me. I'm not sure if this same problem is posted elsewhere in these forums, it probably is, but I can't find it and I'd really appreciate it if somebody could please help me fix this problem!  |

| Hmm, I assume you see a small brickwall in front of the globe in the left bottom corner of the LW window. That measn LW is blocked by a firewall (could be the XP built-in one if your OS is XP, a firewall in your router - if you use one, or any other firewall which comes with a security software such as Norton Security - if you have one installed) To get rid of it, and consequently rid of the pop ups you'll have to read here and follow the suggestions made: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=51361 The fact that your pc freezes after receiving several pop ups could be related to a low RAM........though that's just a guess.

| Yes, there is: Can you give us a total description of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 12. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? 13. What graphic card do you use?

| Sure, 1. My OS is Windows XP 2. I have the XP installed firewall 3. 512 MB Ram 4. 160GB Hard Disk space plus another 160GB external Hard Drive 5. Dialup Connection 6. Sorry I have no idea about my modem 7. I connect from my home 8. I have 4.10.9 PRO Limewire and 1.5.0_04 JAVA 9. I use AOL 9.0 Optimized SE 10. I am not currently sharing connection with other computers 11. I have had Limewire for over a year now and this problem has just started rather recently and seemingly out of nowhere 12. I followed the link and it was a blank page with "Your Test Worked" in the upper right corner. 13. My graphic card I'm not sure about...that might be my NVIDIA GEFORCE MX graphics? I really appreciate your help and assistance with my problem and I'm really hoping it will get resolved. Another question though, are there any other reports of this problem? Just wondering. |

| Okay, since you're using an older version of Java (the newest is 1.5.0_07), I'd reckon first to uninstall your Java, download the newest version (use the JRE offline installer) and install that. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp Since you do not know about your modem/ router or whatever you use, where do you plug in the jack of the phoneline?? At the back of your computer or is there some box outside the computer? Do you have any AOL security software installed ( or any other Antivirus/ AntiSpyware program)?? An advice in regard to your graphic card, try to update the driver. Or try setting your graphic card settings back to default. Some had an issue with 3D settings for games. And others had an issue with graphic card driver updates that had problems. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...hlight=G-FORCE You're using the LW 4.10.9 Pro, are you still in the 6 month period for free updates or have 6 months already passed since you bought LW. I assume you bought it from the official LW website?!? http://www.limewire.com/ As for the question where the firewall comes from: The AOL® Safety and Security Center helps protect you with the most comprehensive set of safety tools, all located in one place and included with AOL at no extra charge. Best of all, we keep them updated so you don't have to. The AOL Safety and Security Center helps make staying protected online just about effortless. It includes: * Automatic protection from known phishing sites when you sign on with your screen name to the AOL® service or the AOL® Explorer browser * New and improved spyware protection, more powerful and faster than ever * Always-on, always up-to-date virus protection that guards your whole computer, not just e-mail * A security barrier between your computer and the Internet with AOL® Firewall http://daol.aol.com/safetycenter
