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.

Default “No Compromise” Vista-McAfee-Limewire Solution

I had the same blah-blah-blah issues of not being able to run Limewire and McAfee together as many of you have. I am currently running Limewire Pro 4.13.2 and a paid 3 year full subscription of McAfee together and have never uninstalled or reinstalled any of JRE 6u1, Limewire, or McAfee. My McAfee and Limewire are both fully functional without the slightest compromise. I couldn’t be happier with my current configuration.

I obviously cannot guarantee you will all have the same success I did, but after reading of all the frustrations on these forums, if it helps solve the problem for any of you, it will be well worth the time sharing it with you. These are the steps I followed that worked for me.

Limewire Configuration

Start Limewire,
then to “Tools” menu bar,
then to “Options”,
then to “Advanced” (on the left hand side),
then under Advanced to “Firewall Configuration”
on the right hand side under “Router Configuration” you will see 3 button options
Choose the middle one called “Manual Port Forward”, don’t change the number, but record it for later
Then “Apply” and “OK”
Then exit Limewire


McAfee Security Center Configuration

Start “McAfee Security Center”
then from the home page, click on “Internet and Network”
then on the right hand side within the services protected box, click the arrow for “Configure”
then select the “Firewall” portion, select the “On” button, then to “Advanced”
then on the left hand side, select “System Services”
then select the “Add” near the bottom of the right hand menu
fill the out the form as follows
Program name: lime
Program category: (leave blank)
The next 4 port descriptions all get the number your recorded from the Limewire Manual Port Forward
Description: (leave blank)
“OK” the menu
Close McAfee Security Center

Restart, and keep your fingers crossed as you launch Limewire and try downloading. Hope it works as well for you as it did for me.

Any feedback on success or failure would be appreciated.

... it did not work for me. :-((

Vista Home edition
McAfee Security center 7.2
Virus Scan 11.2
Personal Firewall 8.2
Spam Killer 8.2
Privacy Service 7.2

When I got help from McAfee they configured as well the Netbios ports in the system service tab of the firewall. It worked *shortly* but with the next connection and start up of limewire my connection got disconnected again.

On Lime Wire » Support it says
"Many Windows Vista computers that come with McAfee Firewall lose the internet connection when running LimeWire. This is a McAfee bug, not a LimeWire bug. Contact McAfee's support for an updated version of their software."

What do they know that I do not know?
Any help is appreciated!

When starting limewire It can't make a good connection although Firewall settings are ok or switched of. After closing Limewire IE can not connect as well

Seems to be a bug in Mcafee. Mcafee is not working OK with Vista I have also a lot of problems with Windows Mail combined wit McAfee
