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. 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. |

 Limewire brick wall problems on Mac OSX Hi, I am new to LW and I don't know what I am doing. I have been reading through the threads and I am even more confused. I have a Mac G4 and I have wireless broadband. I contacted the broadband company and they stressted they do not have any blocks/firewalls. When I go into Sharing/Firewall is states my firewall in off. It is when I read about ports and UPnP that is when I get completely confused. I have been trying to sort this problem with 2 days and still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I have provided my info below. 1. OS version? Mac OS X Tiger v10.4.10 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 256 MB (I am not sure where to find this) 4. Hard Disk space available? 30GB 5. Connection type? Wireless broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I do not have a router box, I have a wire coming from a satalite dish on the roof into my ethernet connection on my computer. 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.12.11 & Java 1.5.0_07 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? AHC Networks (powered by Azotel) 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It says your test worked. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 1st time user 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes  |

 You Are Not Alone  I have also been trying to break my firewall (also 4 days) to allow uploads, and find the threads and port discussions not easy to follow. I have about 40 pages of printouts. and still haven't succeeded - yet. It is driving me  . In my sys prefs>sharing>firewall>LW>TCP/UDP the port No is 6346. In LW>Prefs>Advanced>Firewall config the listening and manual port forward No is 46964. Not sure if they should all be the same? Still trying to work it out.Will persevere. Assume you have www.portfoward.com/help/portfowarding.htm Another thread which may help is Gnutella Forums>Gnutella News and Gnutelliums Forums>Tips&Tricks>Firewall & Port Setting - Some Useful Links. Still hard to follow though as terms such as static ip, your computer's ip and just ip addresses are seemingly used interchangeably. Anyway, Good Luck  PS: Are you able to d/l? I still can even with the wall. |

| Thanks Roimay. I have the firewall on my Mac completely turned off and I left Limewire listen port as is at 27459. I don't know the 1st thing about portforwarding. I cannot download from LW, when I enter a search it is blank - I only have 1 small bar at the bottom of page and a brick wall. It is not responding at all. Is LW free to all for downloading - I paid netmoviedownloads.com to subscribe and this is what I got, a big fat nothing as I cannont d/l. I think I was scammed! Thanks for trying. Shindees |

 Don't Give Up You will need someone more experienced and savvy than me to help.  Once working and Understood LW is a good site for D/L. Cannot help either re Scam or not. I got LW from LW site where, yes, it is free to d/l and d/ls from searches are free. Once I get experienced I will upgrade to LW Pro. Maybe you have to Trash and start again? But the bar at bottom, isn't that signal strength? If you only have one bar maybe the signal is too weak to d/l? I expect there is a thread for that if you can find it. Again you need a response from someone who Knows. Your connection is different to mine as you have satelite where I have router via phone line. Again Good Luck. |

| I often hear of problems with satellite connections. Whilst you may be able to download, it's very difficult to upload. Most Satellite companies limit upload abilities. How they do it is the question. And that's what might be affecting LW from connecting. Can you be more specific about your Modem & router brand & models. Also, try disabling your OSX firewall. Go to System Preferences -> Sharing -> Firewall & disable. |
