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. |

| Hi, I too am an MSDN subscriber, err more my company than me. We received the RTM CDs for Vista in late Nov (close to the end of the month) from our MS rep, and we were downloading it from MSDN in mid Dec. I guess I will need to differ with gramps... I am running Vista 32 bit Ultimate, on a P3 933 Mhz machine, 2 gig RAM, and an ATI 9600 Pro with 256 MB. I have Limewire Pro 4.12.11 and have JRE 1.6 (needed it for Citrix).... and Aero is functional... there was no issue installing it, and I do have a firewall in front of the globe and also get turbo connection. I don't see a compatibility issue with Limewire Pro and Vista Aero (I am assuming that I would not have transparency and 3d Flip if Aero was off). Rick |

| Sure, you can be turbo charged & have the brick wall (as that example shows). It means people would greatly struggle to upload from you, alias 'leeching the network'. If you're using LW at work then that's probably why. They may well have firewalls blocking incoming for LW. Else, check all possible sources for the firewall; Software firewall & router/modem devices, etc. |

| The final release of Vista does not have the issue with LimeWire and Aero that RC1 had. Microsoft apparentley fixed the problem.

| I am so confused. I just bought a new laptop with Vista and I can't get Limewire to work. I have gone through this thread and tried everything. I THINK I downloaded Java 6 JRE and I THINK I properly configured the ports on my router for port forwarding and upnp forwarding. Nothing has worked. At one point I even disabled the windows, mcafee and my linksys router firewalls. When signing in to Limewire it still shows a firewall and I can't connect. The weird thing is whenever Limewire is open, I can't access the internet through my browser. I have no idea what to do. |

| Turn off the Windows Firewall running 2 firewalls is not recommended they can have conflicts with each other.Then follow the instructions in the links below for configuring your Firewall if that doesn't get rid of the brickwall follow the instructions for Port Forwarding your Router. McAffe http://portforward.com/english/routers/firewalling/McAfee/McAfeeSecurityCenter/LimewireIn.htm For some reason it wont let me insert 2 links to the same web site just copy and paste the URL into your browser Linksys http://portforward.com/english/route...LimewireIn.htm I do not know about your router but with mine you can also set up forwarding for UPnP you just go the application and gaming page and you will see UPnP forwarding. I have found that with different versions of LimeWire this sometimes has to be set up.
