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. |

 Still No Connections? Those hosts/connections have been gone for too long, now. I've tried everything that is advised everywhere on the Net, with pointers (about Gnotella and LimeWire) that come from very qualified people. No joy; still the twittering single line, still the word "Connecting..." and still no connections, no matter how long I try. Am I the only one, I wonder, who dreads the concept of returning to further episodes of the "Remotely Queued Transfer Error Show", otherwise known as Napster. Just as Napster appears to be dying, and we need Gnotella, etc., more than ever, along come these apparently unresolved, still largely unexplained failures to connect. Somewhere, I heard that I should go to... "http://www.gnutella.com/" ...and I'll find the answers, there. When I got there, I saw... "it's all okay. today: 28,756 total: 7,306,876" [ I won't pretend TOTAL understanding what that means, being new to the Net, but it looks like a self-patting on the back and an unfounded reassurance given to those visiting the Gnutella site. ] Does it appear to anybody else that there is something nobody is telling them, at Gnutella.com? ...like, for example, that, while they are celebrating with enigmatic digits, there is a trivial point not beind addressed by them, like that...OUR FILE TRANSFER SOFTWARES ARE NO LONGER TRANSFERRING FILES?

| Have you tried to connect manually to gnutellahosts.cache.com:6346 ??? This host server is usually always up, even if the other 2 are down. Make sure your firewall doesn't block the port you run your Gnotella on and try to watch if any data goes out from your computer (sometimes you have those tiny little monitor icons in the system try down the right bottom. They flash on in or out data). Something seems to be wrong in your setup and no data is going in and/or out. You may also find, that if you share NO files, nobody else wants you to connect to them. And make sure you keep at least one incoming conection set. The gnutella net works very, very good now. And the 28,000 is actually a bit low. It is sometimes over 50,000 users at any one time. JD |

| THANKS GO TO JD... Okay...JD: Your advice was not just constructive - it solved the problem, completely, although the actual numbered port, mentioned, was itself left unmolested. Norton can be moody, at times. I uninstalled Black Ice Defender and Norton Personal Firewall and got on first time, EVERY try of many. It was obviously, as you thought, a firewall problem. I reinstalled Black Ice Defender and reset its options exactly as they had been and I still got on Gnotella, perfectly. So, to be certain, I completely removed every trace of NORTON from the Registry and just reinstalled it. This time I DIDN'T SELECT NORTON'S AUTOCONFIGURE OFFER DURING THE ACTUAL INSTALL STAGE (something I'd selected only 2 weeks ago during another re-install!) AND JUST SET IT UP TO HANDLE GNOTELLA IN THE OLD WAY. PERFECT CONNECTIONS, EVERY TIME. Thanks for the advice. I put this follow-up here in the hope that others may benefit from your advice. TO JD: Thanks for saving me from the jaws of almost certain Napster. Ian.

| Glad it works for you now. I decided against Norton along time ago. The guy Norton made excellent programs. Once his company was purchased it became a completely different story. The nowadays Norton products I have tried, take over some functions, one didn't choose nor does not know initially. And - it is sometimes VERY difficult to un-install it 'completely' again. I find the Gnutella Net has improved dramtically over the last few months and amazing what people share now on it. And the clients get better and better too. Make sure you try also the latest Gnucleus 1.3.3. Have lots of fun!.... JD |

| Right About Gnucleus... JD: You were right about Gnucleus- downloaded, tried and tested and it's great. Between Gnotella, LimeWire and Gnucleus, it's gonna be a nice Summer...of music and pictures of, er....Catherine Zeta Jones, Liz Hurley, Yancy Butler, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sophie Marceux...oh, and er... Catherine Zeta Jones...yep-yep-yep! I have "Zone Alarm Pro", "Norton Personal Firewall" and "Black Ice Defender", now, often running all of the time. ZAP gets a little kicky, now and then, but I recommend all three to folks on these Nets. By the way, JD... I NOTICE YOU SAY THAT YOU LIVE ON EARTH!? REALLY? ME, TOO! IT'S BEEN SOME WEEK FULL OF COINCIDENCES FOR ME, THIS HAS! Have fun! Good luck, everyfolk...

 It's important to feel happy once in a while!! Yet how rare Hey 'Godsplinter', I am happy it workes out good for you and you have found new toys to play with! Same here, it's lots of fun, isn't it? New age, new discoveries, new ways of satisfying the ever thirsty human mind. You seem to be into firewalls, hahaha, 3 at the same time. I think you can give Blackice defender the slip. It looks and works nice, but is not doing much!? Zonealarm is very good, but if you feel adventuress get atguard (it is on the gnutella net too), V3.22.11, which was the last version done. It is already a few years old, and no longer updated. But the only one I use. And it is GOOD! And if you google search, you can find a few nice atguard utilites, like an alarm you can set on certain things, and lots more. It gives just about total control on ICMP, UDP, TCP, Cookies, Java applets and more. Comes with great help screens too. Others who read this may find this information quite usefull! Try http://grc.com and test all your firewalls. They run the best site to see which of your ports are open, closed or STEALTH, - the last one is what you want, for all! ATGuard does that. Wrong forum for all this, but hey - sharing is the basic principle of the gnutella net. JD |
