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.

Default Can't connect either and in USA

For the past week I have NOT been able to connect to MP3 Rocket PRO. I completely turned OFF my firewall, and re-booted but nothing...I get message that I am still behind a FIREWALL and gives me ONE bar of connection and that's it!!! I need info... I have recently upgraded my ISP to DSL Premium with static ISP. Could this be the problem? I am also using wireless router for a laptop, but problem is on desktop PC. Any info would be appreciated.

Streamyx is an ISP and this thread is dedicated to those who use it and the trouble they are having with it...

Here are the instructions to Port Forward your modem/router....
http://www.portforward.com/english/r...1/Limewire.htm

If you still have problems after port forwarding there's not alot more we can do to help, as Streamyx is a major problem at the moment...(as you can see in this thread)...

Guys

i'm experiencing the same problems. never had any problem before the Taiwan earthquake. Manage to get thru LW using jaring dial up service. Now, how is that possible, unless of course Jaring uses a totally different gateway route. (Sorry i'm nowhere near a techie)

My best bet is Streamyx does not allow for any P2P activities. Probably got pressured by those 'giants' from the music industry.

so i suggest we either sit back and sulk or we start pressuring Streamyx to buck up.But then again its always the numbers that count.

So you guys out there, stand up and be counted!

Default Streamyx Problem

Hi there

I too am yet another Streamyx user with the exact same problem (living in Malaysia). I can not access LimeWire or itunes Store anymore as at December last year. After nights of researching on Google I discovered a forum abou the connectivity problem with Streamyx and itunes which happened the same time LimeWire couldn't connect anymore. From what I am reading, it seems that during the re-routing of the Streamyx servers after the earthquake something hasn't been configured properly on their end and it has blocked several P2P's. I can use UTorrent without a problem though.

Obviousely Streamxy have no idea what is happening on their end as I also read that some are able to connect to LimeWire and iTunes through their work Streamxy connection but not their home connection.

This site http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/400109 has suggested setting up a Proxy and connecting iTunes through that. I haven't tried (because I can't work it out) but it seems to work. It may also work with LimeWire if your lucky.

If someone gets this going and is successful please let me know and maybe post the exact steps you went through to set up the Proxy. I am not that computer literate and the explanations on this post are not very specific I'm afraid but the people who are getting it seem to be getting success.

They also mention that they are able to connect to iTunes at Starbucks but not at home. Will try with LimeWire tomorrow.

Good luck.

P.S. Aparently Celcom don't have this problem but don't quote me on that.
