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. |

| The number of hits that you see shows how many times your files have appeared in someone's search results... it doesn't necessarily mean that people are looking for the exact files that you're sharing. The network's search isn't too precise - say if you search for 'the black cat', you'd see results for 'the cat', 'the black', 'black cat', 'black', 'cat' etc etc... so other people might have only 1 keyword in their search results that appears in one of your files - but it can still show as a hit. Hope that makes sense  If you're behind a firewall, some people may be able to 'push' through your firewall to download, but chances are most won't be able to. Just because you can download, doesn't mean that others can download from you  Can you give us your details? That way, we can help you more. System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!! |

| Here is the info you asked for ok here is the info you need Birdy and I appreciate you help. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account. Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? Hmmm, I think it comes automatically thru my Comcast router. The other 2 are disconnected. 3. How much ram? 2.21 GHz, 1.87 RAM 4. Hard Disk space available? 5.567GB, both Drive C and Drive D, 1.847 used 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys and RCA digital broadband ( not getting on the floors to look for those model numbers in the nite. LOL They are approx. 2 years old 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accommodation, work, etc.)? Home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help bar > About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. _ 4.18.8 for LW, just d/l the latest Java a few weeks ago. 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Mainly AOL (don't laugh) also can use Yahoo and IE, but am more comfortable with AOL 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? Yes, my test worked 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 2 other puters in the home, but I think I am the "brain" 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Have used off and on for a few years, just always felt that my uploads should be higher as I am sharing over 1K of songs. A few years back, I d/l my entire CD collection to my puter. For instance, ALL of my John Mayall songs get tons of hits, but NO downloads, that seems odd. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Usually I do, but I don't tonite, do I need to be worried? I do have good security ( I think) Mcafee and Malwarebytes. _14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I think port but not sure. 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall  See Q 13. I read in yer FAQS that "if you can download, others can upload", check it out. LOL16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). USA 17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc? Again, I have always successfully d/l, I was just worried that folks could not u/l from me for some reason. The most u/ls I had (before I shut down last nite) was 113, many 8's, 5's, 2's, 1's, etc. Many of the puter geeks at work told me I should NEVER use LW...too dangerous in several aspects. But I like you guys! LOL I was reading on some forum on LW about viruses. I only do music, no movies, games, etc. and never any wma Hope this helps. Also is there a way I can auto-link to this particular thread, I seem to have to go thru many steps to get back here. I tried that "permalink" thing, but not sure how to access it or make it work. Color me blonde...LOL Thanks in advance for any info you can give me. Scout |

| Well the geeks are right in a way - heaps of dangerous files are shared on the Gnutella network (that LW connects to). But if you use a bit of common sense & are careful with what you download, you can safely use LW. .exe, .rar, .zip, .wma, .wmv & .mov files can be nasty. So you're wise to stay away from games. And even if you do find a clean game to download, half the time it'll be missing a license key... so it's really not worth it! Check out the threads below for info about .wma, .wmv & .mov files & other bad files. What you should know about WMA Files mov files Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see) Make sure that you have a good AV program. Keep it updated & scan all downloads with your AV before you open them. PeerGuardian2 is also a handy thing to have Check out the link below for more info & download links. It's free.Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2 Not seeing the firewall icon is a good thing. Did you notice more uploads when the firewall icon wasn't showing? If you see the firewall icon, it means that there's a firewall somewhere within your setup (might be a software firewall, or could be within a modem/router) that's not configured properly to allow LW. It's no indication of whether you have a firewall protecting your computer - it relates purely to LW. I have a firewall within my router & have Comodo software firewall but I don't see the firewall icon in LW - my computer is still protected, though Chances are that your Linksys router has a firewall. They're sometimes unreliable using UPnP (maybe that's why your firewall icon comes & goes), so port forwarding is the way to go. You need to make sure that you have actually set up port forwarding within the routers config & also have set up a static IP address first. Just ticking the 'use manual port forwarding' box within LW isn't enough. Since I don't know your model, have a look at the link below. Choose your router model from the list & then choose LW from the list of programs. Then you'll find easy to follow instructions. Don't forget the static IP setup first (there's a link to that within the instructions)... otherwise port forwarding won't work. LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within your router's setup have to all be the same number. PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall You don't have to turn off your software firewalls - that will leave you less protected. Just make sure that you're only using one firewall (2 will conflict with each other) & configure that firewall to allow LW. I'd choose McAfee over the XP firewall. There are instructions here for configuring that: Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center You can choose to have email notifications of replies to your thread.
