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.

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. |

Yet Another Connection Problem  Hi there, I have spent countless hours trying to figure out what I'm doing...or not doing...to get LW to work. I am new (to this forum) as I haven't had but 2 responses from LW support since April 28th and I'm getting a little frustrated. I had answered all their questions but w/o any reply. I d/l LW Pro in hopes that my connectivity would be better however, it connects briefly (when I say briefly, I mean like milloseconds) and then disconnects. I have read all of the FAQ, many of the posts here, and have tried a few of the suggestions, but I get lost in the port forwarding and some of the other jargon used. Other questions that I was asked was did I change my ISP - and the answer is no I haven't. Does my ISP use a proxy or block anything. I checked with them and they said no - makes sense because nothing was blocked on my previous computer, which makes me think it can't be the router either?? I don't know. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Vista 2. What firewalls do you have? Windows and AVG - I disabled 1, then the other, and then both, and LW would still not connect. 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? INEXQ Model BR400 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. LW 4.12.11 Java 1.6 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Shaw Cable 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. 2 computers connected through the same router, as for the p2p sharing, I'm unsure. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I used LW on my previous computer without any problem, the problem is new with this one. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1158099342 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? No idea, but it does work on the other computer, but not on my new one.  I've tried to answer all the questions as much as I could and offer anything else I could think of. If you could offer any help whatsoever, I'd certainly appreciate it. Am I posting in the right place? I just realized this says "submit reply". If I'm in the wrong place, could someone direct me to the right place please. Thank you, Shell |

| Ok let's see...  I checked to see if your modem/router has a Nat firewall built in and it has, so here are your instructions to Port Forward, it's not to technical just follow each step and don't forget to set up the Static IP part as it is very important, that also has a step by step guide for Vista, just click on the link provided in the details... Let me know how you get on...  Port Forwarding for the INEXQ BR400

 Got It   Oh my gosh...after all the hours I've put in trying to figure this out, it was one or two simple...extremely simple...do's. Not sure if this will help you, but it may help someone out there. I went into LW/tools/options/advanced/proxy and moved the dot from HTTP to No Proxy, and then I went into Firewall Config and changed the "Listening on Port" to 64049, reconnected LW, and now I'm "turbo charged".  Woohoo, hope this helps someone.Shell Last edited by wondering why; May 17th, 2007 at 06:16 PM. |

 Thank you very much, but I figured it out with a whole lot less work...I spent the whole time from my post until about 10 minutes ago doing the port forwarding thing and trying to set up a static ip (which didn't work). So thank you again for your response, but woohoo I'm "turbo charged" LOL.Shell |
