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. |

 Windoze Users: Look Here Before Posting In this thread I will address the most common problems LimeWire window$ users encounter. Remember to always search the forums for other posts on the same topic before you post. And always post in the right forum, or you will have to endure the wrath of the moderators. Also, please remember that it is not necessary to make your posts as short as possible! Take as many words as you need to clearly explain either your problem(s) or your comments or your Help and Suggestions for others. And, very important, always write a clear and to the point title for your posts or threads! "Help!?", is not enough! NOTE: Please DO NOT reply to this thread. If you have a question create your own thread, or if there is a problem with any link or conflict with information accuracy please PM me. IS FILE SHAREING LEGAL? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=23701 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ighlight=legal Didn’t find what you were looking for? Go here Lost or Non-Existent Shared Folder By default your downloaded files go to this directory: C:/Program Files/LimeWire/Shared. If a folder called "Shared" does not appear under the Library tab, or if you for some strange reason stopped sharing it, this is how to get it back. Click on the LimeWire icon on your desktop to run the LW program. Then go to the Library tab and click file>add a folder to share. A box will come up (on mine it goes to the LW root file) you must navigate to the LW shared folder or the folder you keep the files you want to share in. This is a little off topic but I don't recommend sharing more than 500 files for IP security issues. Whatever you try you can't seem to get LimeWire to connect. A lot of connection problems are caused not by LW but by how your computer and some of its software is configured. Most connection problems are caused by a firewall. You must configure your firewall to allow incoming and outgoing connections on port 6346. You can consult your firewalls user manual if you have one, or consult the publisher’s website or contact a qualified professional to assist you in configuring your firewall. NOTE: ALTHOUGH DISABLING YOUR FIREWALL IS A GOOD WAY TO TEST IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM, YOU SHOULD NEVER PERMANTELY DISABLE IT JUST TO USE LIMEWIRE. Another reason you may not be able to get connected is because your ISP (internet service provider) or LAN (Local Area Network) may block file sharing or Gnutella. The only way to find out for sure if that is true is to call your ISP or your network administrator Also, most college networks block sharing and/or Gnutella. Although there are ways to get around it, I'm not about to tell you how. If none of the above is the problem then look here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=22359. Also if you are an AOL 9.0 user you could have an embedded firewall blocking your connection. Look here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=23895. Follow this link to check if port 6346 is open. You can't resume the files in the incomplete folder Try doing a specific search and then resuming. If you cannot download a file and a message other than "Downloading from..." is displayed is usually caused by busy, meaning that they have no free upload slots left for you, or unavailable hosts. Try searching again and downloading from a different host. TIP: Do NOT try to run a large number of 'Pending Downloads' at the same time. LimeWire Pro Questions, Problems and Information For any problems with LimeWire Pro that are related to LimeWire Pro Install Files, lost 'passwords' and other matters of a business and registration nature, click on this link > http://www.limewire.com/english/con.../pro_lookup.jsp or http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showt...&threadid=24350 You can also contact LimeWire’s customer support via their website through e-mail if posting in the forums did not solve your problems. Credits I feel inclined to thank Ursula for her time, help, and patience with me and this thread. I would also like to say that I have spent hours on this thread to try to make your life easier, so be thankful. If this thread did not answer your questions feel free to make your own. I hope your LimeWire experience has been a positive one! deepblue Last edited by deepblue; September 24th, 2004 at 09:34 PM. |
