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.

Question Performance behind firewall and router

I am seeking guidance. I have read many a post concerning the issue of firewalls and a few on routers, but none seem to be directly applicable. Here is my setup:

Cable modem via Linksys BEFW11S4 router. Computer is P4 2.0A running XP connected via Ethernet 100 mbps to router. Running Zone Alarm Pro 3.0.118, their latest version.

I am operating via TCP/UDP port 1214. Failed to connect. Added HTTP (TCP) ports 80, 8080, and 8000 and connection succeeded. Why was that necessary? All other programs are programmed to prevent access of TCP/UDP port 1214.

The program attempts to access other TCP/UDP ports which I block. Zone Alarm is also blocking ICMP (type10;subtype2) inbound requests within my home network and UDP outbound to my cable provider. I'm not sure why or what in my configuration is causing it nor do I know if it is impacting my connection.

Can someone help me with the correct configuration that will allow me to get the most out of my connection without making my computer vulnerable? Thank you in advance.

It is my understanding that Gnutella clients communicate via port 6346... as to whether Clients are using UDP or TCP I do not know.

I've had the best luck opening up 6346 tcp and udp as well as 6347 tcp and udp ... hope this helps.

fasttrack clients need 1214 open on tcp and udp ... just to let you know.

Default Ports

You need to let your client access to every port at every IP, because you never know what port the other end is using.

Then, you should enable port forwarding in your router, and forward all TCP packets (UDP packets can be blocked) from port 6346 (or other, if you wish) to your PC port 6346 (the same port as in router). Without portforwarding you are unable to download from other firewalled users. Portforwarding will remove the Firewalled status from your client.

Not yet .

your client only drops his firewalled status if it actually knows it real IP and that you are forwarding data to it .
That's where the "Force-IP" fucntion is for .

And if your outside IP is dynamic your stuck with BS since that's the only client I know of that has automated the procedure of finding the outside IP .
