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.

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. |

 You have a Nat Firewall within your router and you will need to port forward... These are your instructions... Port Forwarding for the Dlink DSL-502T As I am not a Mac user , I can't help with the other problem you are experiencing sorry...

| Thank You for reply. Much appreciated. But now really confused cos before I could set Port Foward I noticed hits and uploads occurring (on my D/L files), even with brick wall still there. So do I need to remove the wall or not? |

| Well if it's not effecting your downloading or uploading leave it, but you probably won't be able to direct connect... Why did you list it as a problem ??

 Trying To Be a Good LWer  Appreciate reply. Answer is, I cannot put my music, playlists, movies, etc into LW to share (still can't) and would like to. While searching threads there is all the chat and instruction about settings to remove the wall against globe, which apparently helps everyone and improves my connection to other LW users and G network. wall still up. This morning is the first time there was any activity at all re upload, registering in bottom left. Now none. Spent all day trying to figure out port forwarding (still trying as difficulty understanding ip's). Bottom Line. Just don't want to be selfish is all. Any suggestions from any mac users welcome. And yes I know I'm  dumb when it comes to computers so keep it simple please. |

At Last. Nearly there. But Playlists?  Been a while, nearly there. Got the firewall down. So hopefully can better share music and videos. Port Forwarding did it.  The threads and instructions helped but so many anomolies and significant differences for my computer and router set up. Had to interpret and persevere.Managed to put some music and videos in library too. But not using LW app. Had to put files on desktop (duplicates when not wanting to move originals (important especially for iTunes). Then open Finder and drag the desktop files to my LW folder there. The files then appear in red in LW library (and stay red). It was then nescessary to select each file, right (control) click and select "share file" from menu.  Now all I would like is to find a thread (been looking) or instruction to put playlists in library instead of just single song files. Is it possible? - Anyone! Yes or no would do. Thanks to Wondering Why for answering initially. |

Uploading own files?  Thanks for that Wondering Why. Yes I worked out Bitzi. And will study Magnet link. Even with Firewall gone, strong signal and getting a lot of hits on my files there are no uploads (except for some uploads on files downloaded from LW). Don't know if this is a problem or not? Appreciate your thoughts if you have time. One thing that puzzles me is the whatismyip link. I have the number but don't know where to put it or what to do with it? Have managed to work out how to share playlists / Albums. The trick is to record the Playlist, Album, or Side in the case of old LP's, as one file or song. It can then be placed in the library for upload. (If I can sort out above). Once downloaded the other end the recipient can use an App such as Quicktime PRO or Toast to edit / Trim to pull out the individual songs. Shouldn't the posts be in last posted - first listed order? Apart from above re upload everything going well |

| Give it time, now that your firewall is down you will have other hosts browsing your files, don't panic...
