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. |

 Able to DL files but says no connection & can't search please help Hi, long time user of LW & have always had one prob or another come up & eventualy can correct it but I've had this ongoing prob for the last wk or so & would really appreciate some help on this matter. Ughh, where to begin, ok I recently had to connect a router which was it's own set of unique probs but finaly got the whole firewall & port forwarding things figured out ( I believe) so now at least I was able to establish a connection with limewire where before I couldnt even do that. So after getting the router config setup & after days & hours of relentles persistance & effort I finaly saw the most beautiful thing, my connection to limewire was all bars full & green, OMG I thought finaly, my eyes almost swelled with tears of joy. So I happily searched a bunch of files & began to DL them, some are downloading as I type this but after having to reset my PC & restarting LW the downloads started downloading automaticaly right where they left off as they're supposed to but the connection bar shows no connection & when I try to search for files it constantly states your search may not return any results as LW is currently trying to connect. Even while I can see there must be a connection as I mentioned the files are still downloading atm so can anyone please shed some light on this, any ideas? Help on this would be greatly appreciated. the router is Linksys model# BEFSR41 version 4.0 my PC is Dell XPS 400 with 1 GB ram & dual 250 GB hardrives with windows XP home edition OS & I did use the test link wich said it worked, Broadband LW version 4.12.11 & Java 1.5.0_11 & yes brick wall in front of blue world thanks.

| Maybe the port forward has gone haywire.... Just check that the numbers you entered into the manual port forward box and the listening port box are exactly the same and also the number you choose when you port forwarded... Also here are the instructions for your router and limewire you can always just double check that all has been configured properly...  Port Forwarding for the Linksys BEFSR41 Ver 3 (this is for v3,v4 and v5)

| (sigh) Thanks for the reply but yeah everything matches exactly...I have no idea...I've been wondering if maybe it's not something to do with Limewire itself...I've done chat sessions with like 10 reps for linkseys & they've also walked me through the process. The very first rep had me set the specs up exactly as the website you gave me suggests & that first time it worked & it worked greeeat, just fine untill...I had to restart my pc & a couple days later when I got back home, started up my PC again & loaded up LW NO connection, so several chat sessions later no one could help me & finaly one rep suggested to do port trigering instead which I did & whadaya know that also worked but now after restarting my PC again same damn thing no connection to LW & now it wont even resume any of my downloads & when it was it was 1 Kb/sec at best. I have literaly devoted at least an entires day worth of my time to this thing in the last 2 weeks or so, I have literlay spent at least 24 hours of my life in front of this PC trying like crazy to do anything & everything I can think of & I just want to be able to use LW for the love of God...just want my limewire back...please any other thoughts...I NEED MY FIX!!! Ok seriously I just really want to be able to use LW again so any other ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Oh & I do believe I have the TCP/IP settings correct for the static IP so I don't think that's it... |

| Hmmm...Who is your ISP and what security are you running on your comp ?? Here are some fixes that may help (well I hope they do) Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(4th one down) Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer... LimeWire: The Official Site for the Fastest File Sharing Program on the Planet Try deleting your preference folder... Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should If none of that worked try this... Right-click 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. 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.!)
