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. |

 gnutella for intranet internal use I want to use a gnutella network inside an intranet. It should not reach outside. I need it to share confidential information within a company. Is there a way to prevent a gnutella servent from reaching outside? The network uses DHCP. Which client software should I use?  |

 close the door If you close port 6346 on your router ... its pretty much a gurantee that no gnutella client will reach the internet, unless of course you have users with dialup modems on their pc, and an ISP account (e.g. AOHell). Personally ... if I were the netadmin ... I'd setup up win2k server with IIS ... set up a simple website or ftp site with the information you want to share as downloadable links. That way you are certian to restrict user access to your 411 ... and if you have port 21 closed on your firewall ... no one will be able to get to that from the outside either ... or if you dont have access to the firewall ... set the internal share port to be something different ... but then you run the risk of someone scanning your network with a port sniffer and finding it anyway .... the choice is yours ... but for the security of "confidential doccuments" that you intend to share on a network ... almost purpose defeating ... IIS or some other sort of server is the way to go.  |

| Or you could use LimeWire which allows you to specify a set of IPs that will be the only ones allowed to upload/download/connect. Denying access to router4.limewire.com:6346, connect1-4.gnutellanet.com:6346 and all the other hostcaches will also effectively keep LimeWire clients from ever reaching outside, even if somebody of your staff overrides the host filter. LimeWire will run on any plattform and you should check out LimeWire's peer server at www.limewire.com too. |

 what about security Kreiger88 and Paradog have excellent ideas ... but what about logging? authentication? and other security issues? He needs to share "confidental information within a company." Does everyone in the company need to see it? Is anyone within the company going to change a doccument, then reshare it ... who has the original on the network .... which revision did I just download? Damn ... thats a lot of headaches for the netadmin. |

| If he wants security he shouldnt choose a decentralised system. I didnt understand it anyway why he wanted to use Gnutella for his firm intranet...  Everyone could join your Gnutella network. Plus, how do you want to share confidental stuffs? I mean, hey. You cant tell your employee: "Hey, there's a file I prepared for you. Look it up with your Gnutella client. Search for confidental" Haha. I would still use a central system like Intrexx or just a domain server? |

| With Phex you can set up a private network. You can set the network name and set a password. But I don't know how secure that would be...... |

| Thank you Thank you for your ideas. We started to use Phex and it seems to do the job. But we will definitely try some of your recommendations. The reason why I want to use Gnutella and not a central server is mainly network bandwidth. We are developing software (70 programmers) and have to distribute new builds frequently (and branches etc.). A build has about 800 MB. If everyone fetches 800 MB from the server, things slow down significantly. Actually it's even worse. Traditionally the compiler runs on a local machine and accesses C++ files on the server. Because of include file nesting many include files are accessed multiple times, which increases the total network use to even more than 800 MB. This results in turnaround times (edit, compile, execute) of about 60 Minutes. Gnutella seems to be a rather efficient solution to this problem. Using faster equipment (100MBit Ethernet, faster server, switches) may be even better, but it takes some time and a lot of money to install it. |
