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. |

 Firewall Hi - Only joined Limewire the other day and having problems. Am not the best technically so its probs something really stupid I am doing. Any help would be appreciated though. I keep getting the little firewall thing in the lower left hand screen and no matter what I do I cannot get rid of it. Tried everything and there was a little while yesterday when I logged on and it was clear. However I had trouble downloading anything, kept getting Need More Sources so I switched the pc off. When I tried to log back in later the firewall thingy was back  And since then I cannot get rid of it. Use Norton security and tried sorting it there but nothing! Tried disabling the windows firewall too and that did'nt do anything. Am baffled!   |

| You guys that asked for help are really something else. Birdy has asked twice, in this thread, for your system details and all you guys do is say you want help. How do you expect any form of help if you don't say what equipment you have? Therefore, for goodness sake, click on the link, read what we want and post your equipment details. Just remember that we want to help you but you have to give us the information for us to do so, we can't read minds, astral project or use crystal balls, so we need you to tell us what you have.

| I cannot connect to the network for some reason, while another machine on the same network can. I am being told that there is a firewall up, yet I have none installed on my machine. 1. I am using Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 3 2. With no firewalls (at least I couldn't find one, and I never installed one) 3. 512MB RAM 4. I have about 9GB available on the drive for downloads. 5. Cable Connection 6. RCA Cable Modem - Model # DCM325 Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router with 4 Port Switch - Model # BEFSR41 ver4.2 7. Home connection 8. Limewire 4.9.33 Java 1.4.2_05 9. Comcast is my ISP 10. "Your test worked!!" 11. There are 2 computers connected to the router if that's what you mean. The first port is being used by an XP machine and it has 0 problems with connecting to Limewire even with a firewall in place. 12. First attempt with LW on this network... The thing is that I can host games on Warcraft III (port in 6000 range) without a problem... also, I used to be on a different network and was able to access LimeWire without a problem. This is a new issue in that regard. 13. Yes, I see a brick wall. 14. Right now I'm trying port forwarding, but as I stated earlier, WC3 is no problem, but Limewire will not connect. 15. I used Avast Anti-virus (demo) and Ewido (demo) in the past, but both have been uninstalled. The only other program that even comes close would be AdAware. 16. I live in the United States of America. I hope you can help me cos this is bugging me. Thank you. |

| Firewall issues Hey - it seems to have sorted itself out. Have a sneaking suspicion that it is related to me ISP (Clearwire) because the firewall appears randomly in LImewire and if I log out and try again its generally gone. Thanks for the help and advice though  |

| Hi Oblivion9 You say that you have tried port forwarding but that has not worked, the thing is 99 times out of 100 port forwarding works and for your efforts not to work is unusual. However, you have not said whether you have tried UPnP on your setup, so if you have not then I suggest you do. Click on the following link and try to follow the instructions, which will help you to initiate UPnP on your equipment, afterwards let us know how you got on. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post285776 UK Bob |
