Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 Has Anyone Figured This Out Indefinitely Yet? I've read a ton of maybe this and maybe that, but has anyone found out exactly what it is that is causing the problem and how to fix it, yet? It appears as it the entire Limewire community is being affected. If there is a way to fix this (ie. changing IP addys, deleting hosts, disconnecting and reconnecting with certain setting checked, etc. etc. etc.) please explain in a way that some of the people lacking computer savvy can understand. And if there isn't a way to fix this yet, please, we beg you, keep trying. Sincerely, Troy P.S. If anyone else is having the "connected but no search results" problem, or the "brick wall over your blue world" problem, please add your name and your exact experience to this thread!  |

| The reason for there not being one exact fix for these problems is because everybody has a different set up...What works for one may not work for another, so we troubleshoot our way through the problems and do the best we can... We don't get paid for the help we give, we are just volunteers that learn with each and every new problem that arises...

| Yes, I am aware that you don't get paid for this, however, I left my information already and the only answer I got was from a regular who said, "Hope it's not a bug. Peace." That to me isn't offering help. I had left all the pertinent information as I'm going to do again: 1. OS version? XP 2. What firewalls you have? Spysweeper with Antivirus 3. How much ram? 1gb 4. Hard Disk space available? 57gb 5. Connection type? LAN Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? No name router 7. Where are you trying to connect from? House 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.12.6 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Charter Cable 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? It says, "Your test worked." 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem, experienced user 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes There you go. Do you see anything that could be causing the mishap? Also, do you have any idea who these bogus hosts are and how they're all of the sudden coming out of the woodwork? Thank you kindly, Troy  |

| With the bogus hosts who knows maybe another RIAA sabotage attempt... Just dump the current Ultrapeers you have and let LW search for some more... As for the firewall if you have configured your's correctly and have made LW an acception, it might mean you have a Nat firewall in your modem/router, so you will have to give some info about the make and model number for it, so I can check if it's listed...

| Troy You Said "All of the sudden, I'm connected (people are downloading from me), but I've got a brick wall over my earth at the bottom of the page. What's with that?" To that I replied "Hope its just a bug" Cos YOU implied Yuo didnt have a real big prob. THEN I GAVE YOU THESE INSTRUCTIONS Atreyuu Hi. You can turn Webroot back on, I personally use this security & they have never interfered with L/W. When you upgrade L/W, go to webroot firewall permissions and change L/W to always ask, Start L/W and it will reapply for permissions, Give full permissions, Don't forget to untick the box, always ask for this prog. 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers ? Also I would ring Charter & ask if they are shaping your connection, or if they have any added firewall. Peace. Why do I even bother with *** wipes like you, You ungrateful Turd So Piiissssss ooofffff

| Dear mickjapa108, My sincerest apologies.  Your belated response after saying "Hope its just a bug" coupled with this being my first time here and not knowing that you are truly a very helpful person and not a spammer gave me the inclination to ASSUME. But the only one who was an *** here was me. So, again, I apologize wholeheartedly. Rather, I would like to thank you for the help you provided.  If you are still willing to listen, I just want to let you and others know that I have found that the problem is simply a sudden overwhelming infiltration of bogus hosts, these are the ones I've found so far (you may want to add them to you host filter):  204.11.219.225 204.11.219.226 204.11.219.227 204.11.219.229 204.11.219.231 mickjapa108, you have been very helpful and all your work is much appreciated, I'm sure. Take care, and again, my deepest apologies. Troy (Atreyuu2003) PEACE  |

| Troy Hi. Sorry Troy I was a bit over the top, Just having a bad hair day  The reason for the belated response, I have sometimes 10 or 15 threads running at the same time, & I try to answer them all in order, Im in England so there can be a time zone thing also. Thank you so much for taking the time to report those IP addresses. There is a Bearshare Hostiles list that now works with L/W should be posted Here. click on link. http://www.technutopia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=240 That will have some of bogus IP adds in it. Again, Sorry & thanks in the same breath, Peace.
