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.

Default LimeWire Community: Submitting Firewall Instructions

Dear Beta Community,
We are about to start a information campaign for our users. We want to make it easy for them to open up ports in their firewall so that their LimeWire experience will be better. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of different hardware/software routers/firewalls in existence, so we cannot provide general instructions. It would really help if those in the community wrote instructions for their specific hardware/software router/firewall and submitted them to us so we can consolidate them in one central location. We will then push that location to users who we detect are behind a firewall. More nonfirewalled clients on the network is better for everyone, but most especially for the individual user.

We would really appreciate any and all submissions. You can submit a link here or mail us a packaged html/txt file to webmaster at limewire. Screenshots in your instructions are preferred .

Thanks!
Susheel Daswani

Default Linksys EtherFast® Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch (BEFSR41)

Forwarding port 6346 on the Linksys router to your machine.
Go in your browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1 the password by default is "admin" (For security you should change the password).

Press the tab Advanced seen in the menus.
Then select the tab Forwarding. Enter the port 6346 and check UDP and TCP protocols, check enable and enter your lan IP (if your lan IP has been set automatically -by DHCP- you can find your address at 192.168.1.1/DHCP.htm , click on the DHCP Clients Table button at the bottom, there you'll see the name of your computer with the lan address ie 192.168.1.100, remember the last 3 digits and go put them in the Forwarding tab field. Click apply and voilà!

Default Opening your gnutella port behind D-Link Broadband Routers

Here is a link to D-Link's FAQ on how to open your gnutella port on their line of broadband routers.

They didn't mention to the user how they can even find out their local IP address. In Windows 98, that can be done by clicking Start, then Run, then typing "winipcfg" and then selecting the proper network adapter from the dropdown list that is connected to the broadband router and your local IP address will show there and that is the private IP you would put in their instructions.

Salut à tous, I found the holy grail about routers:
http://portforward.com/default.htm
To get a static address (much better for setting port forwarding):
http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm
To open port 6346 on router and make port fowarding:
http://portforward.com/routers.htm

Voilà!!!
