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. |

 Major PC Problems I was having trouble connecting to Limewire,it kept disconnecting. I followed the instructions (http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml) in order to connect to the network, part of it was to configure my Firewall to open a port for Gnutella. Even since I completed these instructions I had nothing but problems with my pc. I lost my ip address a TCP/IP problem as a result of this . I cannot access the internet through my broadband connection. A popup message saying "limited or no connectivity" appears. Also my XP firewall is OFF and I cant access it to turn it back ON due to a problem with "ICP". I cant even establish a new connection. The "Networking" tab in Network Connection settings is GONE! I have tried MS Dos commands but my ip address/subnet mask/gateway info dont show, when I retry this the Dos screen fills with thousands of letter "H"..?? I uninstalled the network card the used my restore cd roms but nothing happened so I created a restore point to undo the uninstall. I have ran McAfee, Spysweeper, NoAdware, Adaware and everything else in my pc protection arsenal but no related treats were detected. I finally got command prompt up, the result as follows: Host Name: your-ntjdlffqll Primary Dns Suffix: (blank) Node Type: Broadcast IP Routing Enabled: No WINS Proxy Enabled: No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Media State: Media disconnected Description: 3com 3C910 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller(3CSOHO100B-TX Compatible) Physical Address: 00-40-2B-7C-22-BE I have tried everything that I am capable of doing and I am at a loss what to do! Please, I appreciate any advice you have for me. Tyler619  |

| If your TCP/IP installation has become corrupt, and every internet related app has gone "south", then a complete reinstallation of windows is called for. However, it may be possible to just delete and re-install TCP/IP but I have never heard of anyone just reinstalling TCP/IP in a modern windows setup. UK Bob |

| Junior Member Tweety1999m Let me first clear up a little confusion on your part, you said: Quote:
Secondly, from the description you have given your equipment I presume you have not tried to PORT FORWARD your router or realise that your router comes with a built in firewall. OK, all that said, I suggest that you check the model number of your router then click on this link: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall Find the instructions then configure your router accordingly. Good Luck UK Bob |
