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. |

| The problem most likely is with your router. There are apparently allot of people having the same disconnect problem as you using the WRT54G ver.6. The link below may be of some help http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17720867

| Alright so i have Windows Vista and i just recently installed limewire on my new computer. Limewire beta 4.13.0 is what i installed so when trying to connect to download music and things message pops up saying - your computer does not appear to have an active internet connection or a firewall(s) are blocking so and so fourth...LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire. so i did just that, i have McAfee Security Center and i have Windows Firewall on my computer which has its on firewall and Windows Defender i tryed disabling all these firewalls and i still have problems and it makes my internet stop working period and then i have to close limewire to get my internet to work again so how can i get limewire to work without making my internet mess up and allow them both to work at the same time? I got LW installed. Only problem is, it connects for maybe a minute with only 3 bars then drops to 1. Afterwards, my internet connection is shot. I have to do the same disabling of my connection just to get it back. What is so different about Vista. My LW always ran perfectly smooth on XP. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98,XP.SP2. )? Windows Vista 2. What firewalls you have? McAfee & Windows Firewall 3. How much ram? 9.99 GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 138 GB Memory 960 MB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable- Charter Communications 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Conexant D850 PCI V.92 Modem Cable Modem Cable RF MAC Adress=000028ad37dda 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? house 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW4.12.11 Java1.6.0 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?Charter Communications 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? Your test worked! 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.new problem since this is a new computer 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?yes Processor -AMD Athlon(tm)64x2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ Memory-960 MB By the way, it also hijacks my internet connection. |

| MHatten42, AFAIK that Conexant D850 is an internal modem...do you have an external modem/router? As you can see here... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=66796 ...port forwarding might be necessary if there is an external device. Try the tips below & see if they're any help with your problem of losing connection http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...10&postcount=2 Because Vista is so new & not many of us are using it (I'm not), you might have to be patient & wait until a Vista user sees your post. Posting the same question 6 times is not going to get you an answer any faster. Forum Rules |

| Most likely LimeWire is overloading your modem/Router some how. I am using a linksys wired router which had the same problem when I was running XP Pro until I changed my firmware it took 2 different versions of firmware before I found one that would not drop the connection when running LimeWire. Whenever it drooped the connection I would have to reboot the router in order to make it connect again. Since I changed the firmware it very rarely happens any more and it has not happened once yet with Vista ultimate. I would suggest looking around for different firmware for your modem/router. The link below is a good place to start looking for firmware and solutions. http://www.dslreports.com/forums/all

| McAfee! I read this thread where someone contacted a Gateway rep who told them that McAfee was interfering with Vista alot! Uninstall it. I tried it, (even though I don't own a Gateway), and IT WORKED!!! LW is running flawlessly and my internet isn't hijacked anymore! Give it a try and post what you think. |
