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. |

 opening up sharing with a home firewall recently got norton personal firewall for some additional security. While logged on gnutella network I'm totally happy sharing files but this damn personal firewall keeps out users who want my stuff and declares them 'hostile attacks.' OK fine - I can confgure the tool (set up trust rules) to allow individual IP addresses thru -but that doesnt do the trick for zillions of other users with other IP s who want to access... anyone have any ideas for me to tinker with so I can share?  |

 Try if you can open your port for IP 0.0.0.0/0 But be warned, that opens your port to attackers too. I'm regarding 1 attack a day on average to my open port. An then, a successful attack you probably won't see. |

And then - only hosts with an open port can download from you and it seems that not even that works properly - during an entire week I got not even one single file downloaded from those pushed connections, while they're happily downloading from me. That sucks. I would say: You pushers are halfway freeloaders. |

| I am writing this as I think it out so excuse me if my mind wanders you firewall them not you get a push request from them and then you connect to them and use that connection to send the file. you do a search and a hit comes back from them with a port number, you connect to them and the file is transferred to you through that connection. both times you made the connection so it should be ok. problem if you are not allowed to connect to their port # for some reason or your proxy server wont let you, you cant expect everyone to change to port 80 for you. can you use a public proxy? could you connect to a public proxy port 80 through your proxy? your client wouldn't handle it properly though. test for it? how? you send a push request to a firewall person he cant connect to you to send the file, no port because you are firewalled, problem. no where to connect. you get a wireless card and have all kinds of fun while the boss is not looking. his network gets hacked because they came in through your wireless connection because you didn't yank the ethernet plug! looks like you can only get files from a non firewall host if you are behind a firewall. did I miss anything? |

| @Unregistered Yea, at work, that's right. And no use of your own card, because maybe there's a tool looking for packets who aren't expected to be on the local net and you could get fired for that. But this thread is about a personal firewall where the setup is on your own. |
