Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

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.

Guangzhou, Guangdong or there-abouts. So that's 2 mods who found the same results. Also have their timezone on the forums set to China's time. And yes, all 3 have same ip. So if I ban one ip, it will ban all 3 members. Shall we try it for good measure.

Hi all

Instead of arguing with each other which we are not here for, i think it would be better for us to respect each and everyone opinion here. WW, UKBOB, KATW n GRANDPA stop all your insinuation. Dixon79, HK.emma & joytt before you say ppl not to upgrade i think you should try and test all the possibilities. I,myself could not connect to LW after i upgrade, i was becoming mad then when i followed the instruction of foolofthehill, now my LW is working perfectly, try it!!!!!! I hope that all of you know what we are doing here is to help each other.

Still relatively OT, but ignoring the previous malarky. Is there any reason why I wouldn't want to update LW even if it means sorting out a few gltches along the way. I never thought twice when I saw an update available!

give me a break you worthless troll...sheesh...

it has been proven that they are using the same exact IP addy...

I don't know what this indicates to you, but it surely indicates to us moderators that this is nothing more than a trollish game...It goes beyond my comprehension that you would actually try to step in the middle of mods doing their work...I mean really, just who the fvck do you think you are????

that's right, this is supposed to be a support forum, but its rather hard to give good info when a$$holes like this are playing deceitful games of lies and propaganda...and to boot, said jizzguzzler don't even know how to change their IP addy in some attempt to get away with it...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

First of all, I am taking the personal accountability of the first article, and I did not meant that to play this "trollish game" here. In fact, I ( A new member to this forum) was aware of trying more and testing more before I published something on this forum.

Considering this, no matter the compliments, complains or insinuations from you, I will always take that as your sincerely comments.

Ok, but there still one thing I do not understand, some of my buddies had updated to 4.12.3, which really didn't work, also without any firewall or setting problems. after that, they got back to older version, and it works again. Does anyone knows why? So should I update to 4.12.3 again or is there any skillful setting for the lastest version?

Please feel free to speak out!!! and let's work for the solution together, not dig in the difficulties anymore. Thanks!
