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.

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. |

 I suspect your router's firewall is what is probably causing the connection problems. Would you have permission to login access the router? Bell have often used Speedstream routers in the past but also a few other brands. By the looks the Speedstream routers maintain their name on the router. So it is my guess you are using a 2Wire router. Internet support for modems, connection and home network from Bell so you can verify if it looks the same. The only difference I can see from the different models of 2Wire or even Speedstream is the login address for the router. 1. Set up a static ip address: Setting a Static IP Address in Windows 7 - PortForward.com 2. Follow the instructions here for the 2Wire router: Port Forwarding Limewire on the 2wire 2701HG - PortForward.com The Bell user-guide for the 2Wire router suggests using http://192.168.2.1 as the login address. ie: you can manually add an application to the list. Depending on whether you wish to do this for LW 4, 5 or FrostWire. Add a rule for each of TCP and UDP. After finishing, save settings. Usually also best to reboot routers for the changes to take effect. 3. For LW depends if you are using LW 4 or LW 5. For LW 5 instructions, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/tips-t...tml#post120010 For LW 4 or FrostWire (same approach as LW 4), use the instructions at portforword . com FrostWire 5 is a torrent only program. It does not use the gnutella network. User opinions I have seen are they did not like it. But they were personal opinions only. If you wish a torrent only program, there are definitely much better ones out there such as uTorrent, Vuse and a few more that have been developing for many years and are fully acceptable even at private torrent sites. I am not aware of a 'private' torrent site that allows FrostWire 5.  |

| LOTR: I tried to follow step one in the instructions you gave me, but may have hit a slight hitch. The instructions want information ipv4 and to ignore the 6. I only found information on 6. Do I still follow the instructions? |

| As far as I know, ipv6 is for the future but I do not think ipv6 ip addresses have even been allocated out to people yet. I must admit, seems strange instructions for port forwarding. My router only asks for private and public ports and private (LAN) ip address. I think ignore the Firewall summary page. Click the Firewall Settings button. Then by the looks, you click the Advanced Settings tab. Then select your computer which should show in the drop down list. Then Click the Add a new user-defined application link. You will make two entries, one for TCP and another for UDP. So check option for TCP in first entry, then add a port number. Perhaps 6346 or 6348. This port number must be the same as the port you add in LimeWire's Advanced settings for port forward. For Profile Name, the Application Name you can type in LimeWire. When you have added the Application Name and the port From and To numbers, then click the Add Definition button. Do a second definition entry for UDP. After doing the UDP addition, press the Back button. You will see LimeWire listed in the list of applications, select it and click the Add button which will move it to the Hosted Applications section. Then click Done button at bottom of screen. |

| Thanks, I'll have to get to doing that and see if it works. I'd like to be able to use Frostwire (or Limewire) and get some new CDs. |

| For LW or FW, menu bar Tools, Options, Advanced, Listening Ports / Firewall Config. The instructions I gave in my last post is for your router. You do not need to specify any ip address in either the router or LW/FW. Only the port you decide to use. |
