Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Angry Blocked ports

Hi!

My ISP has blocked the ports 6346, 6347, 8080 (among others) to prevent filesharing. What can I do?

Thanks,

Pebble.

Hi!

At least one port must be open, find this and change it in your client - this should work!

Morgwen is right here.

Try out any other port in your gnutella client. Pehaps something common as port 20, 23, 79, 80 or 6666 (ports usually used for telnet, ftp, finger, http, irc - if not allready used by another server application on your computer)... or use a random highport (e.g. > 9999).

BUT this will only work if your provider is stupid and blocks incoming traffic _to_ 6346/6347. Expect (!!!) that your ISP will block incoming traffic _from_ 6346/6347. I that case you have a problem. Most gnutella servants run on these ports (according to my hostslists) ... only very less servants don't.
And even when you find one servant that does run gnutella on a gnutella-untypical port (not 6346/6347) and you connect via this servant, your chances are near zero that you can download files!
You might find files, but you will nearly never download. Because the direct P2P file transfar has a high chance to come from a 6346/6347 host, which is blocked by your ISP.
Solution... sorry no, only if you are a geek. Then you can tunnel all 6346 traffic through another host and port outside your ISP (port forwarding or socks2http or...). Okay there is an idea, you maybe wanna test other file sharing systems like eDonkey, Morpheus... visit www.zeropaid.com.

Good luck!

I wouldn´t recommend eDonkey because it contains Gator!

But Morpheus is a very good solution!

Note:

You can find files on the Gnet that you don´t find in Morpheus...

so I would try it to change the port and of course download Morpheus!

Hi Morgwen!
Yeah man, FastTrack (Morpheus, Kazza, Grokster) is fast and modern. When you follow new discussions on the_GDF, everyone is suddenly crazy about superpeer, swarming, file hashs, parallel downloads, automatic researches and metadata... I'm really really looking forward when all this is added to Gnutella!! Hehe, funny when I think back a few month, when really nobody liked this ideas or rumours about how bad Morpheus (or Xolox) allegedly is. Do you remember?

Yes!

But much has changed since then...

and we thought that clients like the legendary "defender" will be released soon...

now I see the reality - many of the features we are waiting for so long... are standard features, in Morpheus, for months!

Morgwen

P.S.:

I hope defender will be released in december and not again a pre-defender version... it is time...

Unhappy

Wel, I have Morpheus, love it, but it seems as if our ISP has blocked those ports just as the WSU school did. Someone I talked to had setup a proxy server or something to get through the firewall? Anyone know how to do it? I really want to get back in there. Thanks

put MORPHEUS in the subject line so I don't kill it like spam :-)
