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. |

 Firewall Detected, no firewall running cannot download Ok, this is seriously THE WORST PROBLEM i have ever had with limewire and it seems to be almost common now, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THESE FORUMS I CANNOT SEEM TO CONNECT TO LIMEWIRE..it says i have a firewall running but i dont and stays at the connecting status for hours...if it finally gains up enough power to get connection, it almost immeadiatly loses it and goes back to the first green bar. I had previously been using limewire for close to 1 and a half years and had over 300 songs downloaded....the problem drove me so mad that i completely made a new Windows XP account and i lost all of my songs, and cannot re download them to save my life.....Thanks limewire!  how hard can it be to fix such a common problem?  1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) MS WINDOWS XP 2. What firewalls you have? WINDOWS FIREWALL 3. How much ram? 512 MB 4. Hard Disk space available? A LOT 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) BROADBAND 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? WIRELESS CONNECTION VIA SPEED NET 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? HOUSE 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. NEWEST JAVA AND LW 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? SPEEDNET 10. 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? YOUR TEST WORKED 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. A NEW AND VERY FRUSTRATING PROBLEM 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface YES, AND NO FIREWALL IS ON Last edited by SWORNNME69; May 16th, 2007 at 02:26 PM.  |

| Hi Me. How to use Manual Port faward Universal Plug and Play may not be working properly Due to this update. "Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)" If this update is installed on your computer & UPnP is in use in Limewire Try switching to Manual Port faward, using port numbers between 45000 To 65000 Both Manual Port faward No, & listening port should be set at the same number GO to Tools/Options/Advanced/Firewall Config & use Manual Port faward. If you are using a router to connect, that may also need configuring Find your router listed here, Use this blue link. & dont forget to create a static IP first. PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall Your Servant, Peace.

| SWORNNME69 Hi We do not work for Limewire, We are all volunteers that give our free time to help solve the running problems that Limewire users have. I have no need or desire to cry, I personally am tolerant, so the lack of respectful vocabulary on your part, simply highlights your lack of respect for others. whatever forums you are used to frequenting, I have no idea, but here we also have children,reading & posting, so for them, if not me, I ask you to choose your words with a modicum of consideration. You Say. "im just frustrated cuz the damn thing doesnt work for half of the people that use it" So if your figures are correct, half the people Downloaded Limewire from the official site,Read the instructions,then configured their settings on their computer to run correctly with Limewire. Some of the other half are new to computers, so they come here,then ask for advice on setup, Then there are those that come here & blame us For them downloading L/W from a scam site for $35 & wonder why it dose not work. So with that said. If you would like our help, please continue with clear questions. P.S... What version of java do you have (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Peace.

| SWORNNME69 Hi This should solve it, Also I would turn XP Firewall back on, that should not be a problem, If you delete permissions for Limewire in XP F/W Limewire will reapply just in case things have become stale or bugy. Now! Go to, START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs, now completely remove all versions of java. Re BOOT Your computer NOW. Now! Use this Link to get (jre-1.5.11) Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one, Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 When Download is completed. Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java. Shout if you need help. Peace.
