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. |

 I have a problem, I have tried everything! Please and thank-you in advance.... OK, here's my issues at stake here, first I have windows xp PRO, using the windows sp2 firewall. I also have the limewire PRO 4.10.9, I do not want to update to a higher version either, because I am sick and tired of paying for all the updates, so rather just stick to this 4.10.9 of limewire PRO. Everytime I click to open my limewire PRO up, it disconnects my dsl. I have read that firewall link from limewire faq's site about the firewalls, and followed the directions in it. I now have that port added from that site to my firewall of sp2 firewall. After I followed these directions, I still have these issues, where everytime I opened my LW PRO up, it disconnects my dsl, red lights flashing on and it does reconnect after about 10 mins or so. After these 10 mins, my dsl is now connected online. I have already also, tried that link I saw in this forum about going to some site and having it tested, well after clicking that link from my browser, the test showed, " you have passed the test", so I know it's not my firewall, I have even went into LW tools, options, bug reports, view example,and scrolled down, and it says recieved incoming this session, which was TRUE. So I know that maybe this is not a firewall issue, because I added the port number from LW into my firewall of sp2. What else could be the problem? Why is it disconnecting me everytime I click to open the program? It disconnnects me for about 10 mins and re connects me back online. Just really frustrating.... can't figure this out....  |

| That is exactly my what my point is, all the insulting posts made by him, I have reported to the contact section in the front of this page, and I see no place to report abuse either. This forum is no help what so ever, I have copied and pasted all insulting posts, and send it to the makers of these forums, it's a shame noone can get real help without being insulted and attacked. Don't worry, I have had my words and will make sure something gets done to this forum...thank you very much |

 Have just fixed my connection problem with Limewire, Not been able to connect at all since I re-installed it a couple of weeks back after I bought a new hardrive. I know it wasn't my hardware as I plugged in my old drive and Limewire connected ok. Tried all the advice with going into options and unblocking the firewall and stuff with no result. Then I found it was with the latest Java I had installed was interfering with Limewire. **Solution** First un-install Java then un-install Limewire. Restart PC. Re-install Limewire. It worked for me. Hopes this helps other people.. Maybe this solution should be stickied so it doesn't get lost in time.  Last edited by jizmflam; November 6th, 2006 at 11:18 PM. |
