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.

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. |

 We don't do email replies  Looks like the UPnP options don't show in that router model with some firmware versions. Just 2 threads I found, you can Google for more info: https://forums.qwest.com/qwbb/board/...&thread.id=983 Re: Trying to enable UPnP on an Actiontec GT701-WG Router - PlayStation®3 Media - PlayStation.com Forums So assume that UPnP is already enabled in your router... did you change LW's listening port? Change listening port > click ok. Restart LW. Before you set up port forwarding, you'll first need to set up a static IP address. Check this link for your info: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall Then the port forwarding instructions for your router are here: Port Forwarding Limewire on the Actiontec GT701-WG LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within router configuration must all be the same number. If you're still stuck after port forwarding, try one of those other apps & see whether you can connect. It's always best to try the free version of a program before paying for it   |

| Man, it's things like this a really put me down, it feels like i will never solve my problem with LimeWire. i did everything as the site said and tried to connect and it still couldn't. i just don't under stand how my computer can't connect, while my other computer can connect without any problem. the thing is my other computer is really old and is SLOW. So it takes me a more than a hour to finish what i want to do. and i also don't understand how i had to restore my computer to original settings to get Lime wire to connect again... It connected for a good month than it went back to not connecting... I dont know if its something i am doing or what.  Computer that can't connect is Vista 32x Administrator Computer that is slow and can connect is XP 32x Administrator  |

| D-Link router does have UPnP in the later models. My model didn't & I definitely needed to port forward it. Both computers will need to have LW set to run on different ports to each other. A router will reserve one port per computer & application. Also, try copying your Gnutella.net file from your XP computer across to Vista .. whilst LW is closed of course. |

| Hi yewtubepl0x, Sorry that you're having so much trouble with this. Just a couple of things - make sure that both computers aren't using the same listening port. Tools > Options > Advanced > Listening ports. If both comps have the same listening port, change one to 65000 > ok. And while you were setting up port forwarding, did you make sure that LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within router setup were all the same number? They must all be the same number. Did you ever try deleting LW's preferences folder as I suggested in post #9? If you deleted the prefs folder properly, all of LW's options would have reverted back to default. If that doesn't happen then you know that the folder hasn't been deleted (often because LW wasn't properly closed at the time). |

| Hello, sorry on the late reply. My router does have UPnP, i have it checked off. My XP computer is using UPnP, i have not changed any settings on it. My Vista computer is Portforwarded but still can't connect. LW's listening port and port forward box in router is set to the same number. <10227>. i also did delete LW's preferences folder already. I also seen ur reply on one of my replies a while ago, i really don't think alot of people use the same model of router that i am using at the moment. i also had some problems with my router before. I'm pretty sure i have the cheaper, less popular Dlink router. My english grammar might not be the best, i am learning in French. Last edited by yewtubepl0x; January 5th, 2010 at 04:17 PM. |

| Try installing this older version of LW... see whether that works. Sometimes people have trouble with a particular version for unknown reasons. You'll find a link to download 5.3.6 here: Old Version of Limewire 5.3.6 Download - OldApps.com |
