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. |

 Limewire has detected a Firewall I have been using Limewire for a while now, but I recently turned off my home internet, as I'm hardly ever there, plus my city has a plethora of wifi hotspots. The particular place I would like help with is a Library using BlueSocket. I think it may be them with the firewall, and when I asked the nicest clerk I could find, they said it would allow file sharing networks but they couldn't give me any port numbers. Windows Vista 2ghz duo amd 3gb ram 86gb HD available Limewire 4.18.3 I set Norton to allow Limewire and also turned it all off just to see if it worked. It didn't. Also checked to make sure the Windows firewall was allowing it through. I turned that one off just to see if it would work. Still nothing. ------------- Edit: Also, the test page for Limewire ends with: "The server at www3.limewire.com is taking too long to respond." I also turned my firewalls back on and adjusted some settings to allow Windows File Sharing and Shared Networks Last edited by CharlieBoobah; July 22nd, 2008 at 02:04 PM. Reason: More information  |

| Obviously you didn't read my post. It's all there except for the modem/router information which I obviously don't know. The library won't give me any information. I am of course in the USA, and yes there is a brick wall there, which means firewall. Leave this one to someone who can read, cheekies  |

| Me too. I upgraded after being prompted that a new version of Limewire was ready to be installed, but after installation and adding exceptions for Limewire and the two ports, it still refuses to connect. Even if I switch off Windows Firewall there is no difference which makes me suspect about the sequence of steps. I truly regret that I upgraded, wasted an entire evening and close to badmouthing Limewire, so please HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is there a certain sequence of setting exceptions, quitting any of the applications and do I need to restart (and when)? Ever so grateful for your advice!!! Sven |

| Me three! I have use Limewire for years without a problem until this week. As an attempt to remedy, I upgraded and added exceptions for Limewire and the two ports, it still refuses to connect. Even if I switch off Windows Firewall there is no difference. I too truly regret that I upgraded. It appears that there must be something wrong at Limewire. We need some HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edward |

| My Solution I have read that to correct this problem one must uninstall limewire as well as the application data found in the users folder. I did this and still could not get a connection. So I tried something else... Uninstall Limewire I then did a search through all of my files for limewire (in the search box type in "limewire") I deleted every file that had to do with limewire including GIF's and the rest of the junk that comes with the program. After your computer is entirely Limewire free restart your computer. Once restarted go to the Limewire offiial site and download limewire again. Run the setup and WALLAH! I now have 5 green bars instead of the red. Before doing this I tried everything else out and still had the connection problem. This is the only solution that worked for me and I hope it works for you as well. Good Luck!! |

 Connection problems I tried deleting everything and restarting the computer. Then I downloaded limewire and still have the same problem. It claims to be detecting a firewall. I just think they trying to make us pay and get the upgrade. Anybody else find a solution to this problem?  |
