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. |

 Guitarded9k is it possible for you to experiment around such as by-passing one of the devices? Try to narrow down where the issue is. 1. No. Just the ones you're aware of. XP, Sygate, Linksys, Voyager?, ISP? Is there a possibility there's an anti-spyware, etc. utility that needs allowance/permission in its settings for some programs to connect with in & out connections? 2. Java 1.4.2 or 1.5. I suppose with SP2 you could look at http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools to increase you simultaneous connections. SP2 reduces them. Some XP updates also change your settings. 3. Possibly. These devices generally have NAT protection which is arguably a firewall. Linksys devices use UPnP which should allow programs with UPnP ability to communicate directly with them to request the Linksys device to open the appropriate ports. But I don't know about your device. Not all UPnP devices work properly with UPnP but Linksys is generally very reliable. If all fails, manual port forwarding if it's an option with the particular device. Same applies to the Voyager. Is it possible to connect another way just for a trial. Do you have a backup dial up modem? That will also help to point to whether it's the devices at fault. I thought I mentioned it but Plusnet has been known to filter individuals.

| DavidM1981 Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. *** What is your Modem & router brand name & model numbers? *** 4.Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? 5. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 6. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? 7. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

| Miracle!! After a day of going crazy trying to get LW to connect I got fed up so I called optonline my ISP and yelled at them b/c LW connects when I use my dial up or DSL from Verizon i was on the phone with them for about 15 min when i hung up LW was connected but i'm not getting turbo-connection, so I thought this might help optonline users try calling tech support and speaking to them |

 can anyone help me? I have windows 98 and the basic version of limewire, i purchased imusicshare from imusicshare.com and limewire is the first (and best) choice they give you to download music from, for me limewire will not work. it just won't connect. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to computers and i have no idea what firewall, proxy, port, or isp means. So none of the solutions posted help me, even though i have tried some of them. Also i don't have the folder Documents And Settings so i couldn't try sdaswani's solution. Can anyone help me?? |

| v0ne 1st & foremost, you've been scammed. You got LW from a scam site. LW Basic is FREE. 1. Check this to see that you really have LW Basic: Shows About LW Pro 2. See Membership? - **WARNING ** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites (click on link) 3. You'll find that site you got yours from here Known Scam Sites (click on link) 4. Get some tips here get your $$$ BACK!!! (music members) & perhaps http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ghlight=paypal 5. Uninstall your version of LW since if it doesn't come directly from the LW downld site, it could contain some internal changes & the addition of spyware, adware, etc. Then install the official version from here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |
