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.

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.

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.

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.

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. |

 Sending a file directly to another computer I want to send a file that's too big for email to a friend; or have them download the file from my computer using LimeWire Basic. We tried the Direct connection button at the bottom of the search column. We both have the message that we're behind a firewall or a router. MY firewall is disabled. I had to to get the new router to function. I'm using just the router firewall now. Is there a way for a direct file transfer for us to use? Thanks for your help!! Greg  |

 You will both need to get rid of that firewall to be able to direct connect to each other...I know that you have allowed limewire as an exeption, but the firewall that is blocking you would be a NAT Firewall which is built into your Modem/Router... Any way just to be sure this is the problem could you post these details please...You may also want to get your friend to do the same... System details - help us to help you

| System info to help troubleshoot 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) ~~ Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? ~~ I've disconnected the Windows XP firewall to make the router work (it's relatively new); I only have the router firewall (D-Link DI-624 router) 3. How much ram? 504 4. Hard Disk space available? ~~ 60.7 GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ~~ HIGHSPEED DSL 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? ~~ D-Link DI-624 router; ActionTec GT-701 Modem 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? ~~ Home office 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 1.5.0_11 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? ~~ Qwest 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. ~~ Basic Network through the router; total of three computers wired to the router; one laptop wireless 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. ~~ I had LiveWire before with a different router and modem. It worked fine, HOWEVER I NEVER TRIED TO GO DIRECT IP TO IP WITH IT. With this current setup I can search and download files apparently okay. I just can't attach via IP address to my friend's computer or vice versa. Theirs says the same thing about a firewall. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? ~~ YES Last edited by Greg Bruce; March 8th, 2007 at 08:33 AM. |

| It still won't work ... Okay. I've been to PortForward and I've run the directions for setting up a Static IP address on this computer. I then set up the DLink DI-624 router to allow LimeWire to access port 35000. I changed it in LimeWire and saved it. And I've done this twice, actually. I unplugged both the DSL modem and the router and reset them both. I've shut down this computer and restarted. I restarted the modem and router with the computer OFF, let them completely boot back up and then started this computer. I'm at a loss. This shouldn't be this difficult. I just want to share a couple of large files with a friend. I thought this would be easy. I even had them search using the exact file name hoping LimeWire would find my file and upload it for them to download. No such luck. Any more help would be ideal. Your suggestions to this point have been very helpful and educational and I appreciate it. A LOT. Us ignorant computer users ought to be banned from using computers ~~ but then, who would buy them if not us illiterates??? LOL A side question, I have three other computers on this "network" in the house. Now that this computer is a static IP, do I need to assign all the others a static IP, too so they don't eventually conflict??? One side comment, too: Having assigned a Static IP to this computer, I could be dreaming, but my internet pages SEEM to load faster now; like it really is accessing this new Higher Speed DSL I'm paying for. Am I imagining this or could it be faster now? Thanks for your help! Greg Last edited by Greg Bruce; March 8th, 2007 at 08:39 AM. |

| Well GB I would suggest you use Winzip to compress your file into a mnagable size, failing that you can use winzip to cut your large file into any number of smaller compressed files that your friend will put back together on delivery. UK Bob |

| WOW! Duh. WinZip I COULD zip it up, couldn't I? And a video file zips just fine and unzips just fine?? I'll also look into pando. Thank you!! I'd really like to figure out LimeWire just because I don't like it when things don't work so don't give up on me! But for now, Zipping and Pando may solve the problem. Thannk you. |

| Greg Bruce did you put 35000 into the manual port forward box as well as the listen box.... I'm also curious to whether the static IP number is only 1 digit different to your ISP's number... I ask this because I port forwarded for a friend the other day and the static IP the instructions gave me didn't work, but if i entered the ISP's IP it worked...go figure, I'm at a loss of why that happened...lol
