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. 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. |

 Webstar Cable Modem - Port Forwarding - LimeWire Hi there; My name is JDavid and I just recently updated my DSL connection to Cable broadband. It seems that I made a huge mistake, (even though you can save me by giving me some pointers). I used to have my DSL for many years with one of the biggest Telephone Solutions Providers in Puerto Rico. I am now subscribed to one of the main Cable ISPs supporting the metro area at Puerto Rico. My Cable ISP is called "Powerlink" from the company called Onelink Communications, located in Puerto Rico. I just learned that my Cable ISP is controlling the way my broadband is delivered. I say this because ever since I changed to Internet cable, I haven't been able to download files through LimeWire or any other "P2P", or "Gnutella" network as before. My LimeWire download speed is extremely slow. I was told by my Cable ISP's Customer Service that they do not allow or support these types of connections and softwares because it implies "Cpyright Laws". I undertand this, but I think they should leave this issue to the "end user". Why the **** they have to decide it for me!!! It SUCKS!!!!  Well, I have already tried entering into my cable modem WebStar DPC2100R2 but my ISP has a forced "firmware" that won't allow me to do any changes. I also tried to configured a "Static IP address" and "Port Forwarding" on my Linksys Router, but it didn't correct the LimeWire issue. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the technical info from my current hardware: - OS: Win XP SP2 - CPU: 3.0ghz - RAM: 2GB - H.D.: 80gb - Cable Modem: Scientific-Atlanta WebSTAR-DPR2100R2 - Router: Linksys Wireless G (Model: WRT54GS) - Scenario: I have the Cable Modem connected to the Internet port of the Linksys Router. The computer is connected to my Linksys Router.  |

| Thanks "Wondering Why" I appreciate the replay and feedback.  But..... Are you sure this is the only solution?  I asked this because I was able to contact someone from inside my ISP, and they told me that it could be posibble to configure a "port forward". Even though they said it would be possible, they could not specified how since they were not allowed and they were scared of being fired from their job. Like I said before, I've tried to performed all configurations possible on my router and tcp/ip connections. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Take care. |

| I can give you the instruction for your router to Port Forward, but you said you had already tried that...But here they are anyway, see if they help... http://www.portforward.com/english/r...S/Limewire.htm I also found these instructions at the Port Forwarding site it's for the Scientific-Atlanta WebSTAR-DPR2320, I know it's not your model but you may be able to access yours if the set up is the same...  http://www.portforward.com/english/r...0/Limewire.htm

| Webstar Cable Modem - Port Forwarding - P2Ps Hey "Wondering Why"!... I owe you a few thank yous... Once again, thanks for the feedback.  Not to "brag" about it, or something like that. But I already tried all of the "port forwarding" steps mentioned out there. It seems that I still can't download at a good speed. I also wanted to point out once again that I've already tried entering into my cable modem WebStar DPC2100R2 but my ISP has a forced a "firmware update" that won't allow me to do any changes on my cable modem. I also tried to configured a "Static IP address" and "Port Forwarding" on my Linksys Router (I have the Linksys Router connected to my WebStar Cable Modem); but it didn't correct the LimeWire issue. Well..... What can I say.... I am just glad there's people like you out there willing to give a few pointer to people like me.  Take good care. |

| One last ditch effort...Try these fixes and see if any help... 5. Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000. (but only if you're using Windows 2000 or later.) Somebody reported changing to Windows NT compatibility fixed their problem despite not using that operating system version. 6. Right-click on the Limewire icon on the desktop and click on Run as. Then it should come up showing the current user and then switch it over to Administrator. (but 'only' if you're the admin of your comp.!) Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down) http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer... http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...oadfree2.shtml If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420 Last but not least if all the above fails try downloading the Beta Version....
