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.

it is definately the port forwarding issue , as soon as i figure out how to port forward on this router i will post it , hughes net has no idea how to tell me where to begin on the port forwarding .. the only thing i can think of is the router is firewalling the port needed by limewire and utorrent .. , but i am working on it people , just give me time and i will figure this out , i never give up :P

Homi man.
When You recived your modem/router package, you would have a setup CD
with it, So try looking on the CD, (DONT run it) explore it and look for the
setup Read me folder, Your firewall setup may be in there.
Peace.

Hi Homi. This is what JSTJ1 says, after contact with Hughesnet.
Phone them homi,to be sure.

"ALL right here's the fix I talked to advanced tech hughesnet. I runing a pro plan with hugesnet that uses NAT and it I can't disable If i upgrade to the next plan 10 more bucks amonth they will do away with the NAT and I will have a Static Ip address instead of NAT firewall. I told them lime wire is being firewalled and they said if I upgrade it will resove the problem. Well I'll be upgrading"
Homi, post back n let us know how you got on.
Peace.

i am already on the highest plan proplus and i do have a static ip and i still have this problem , so someone is being lied to .... they support port forwarding and they "claim" that they dont block any ports , and it is on my pc that i need to be concerned with the ports , but i have all firewalls off and on stand alones this is really annoying , i just need one damn listening port to be open but i can not get one i have tried manually configuring the tcp/upd ports on my pc and through windows firewall to make sure that they were open on my end , it has to be hughes net .. but i will finnd a way around it . i just havent found the right person yet but i never give up

OK Homi man.

Im not giving in, so try this link, its the instructions to your wireless router.
Do what they say n follow steps in exact order given n get back.
Try using UPnP option first, n dont forget to re boot your computer before
restarting L/W,we will get there in the end.
