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.

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. |

 LW acts firewalled, but isn't I've been running LimeWire on a NAT'ed port, and it never figures out on its own that it is not firewalled. BearShare has automatically detected whether it is firewalled for a long time. When BS gets an incoming connection from a public remote IP address, BS decides it is not firewalled, and starts returning non-FW Query Hits. But with LimeWire, even if I even connect directly into the server with a Gnutella host connection from an external public IP address, and even if I connect directly to download (using a manually crafted HTTP request) LW still sends out firewalled Query Hits. It seems that unless I check the "Force IP" checkbox in Setup, LW only sends out firewalled Query Hits. |

| Hi mickish -- How do you know which port to advertise? I could have a LimeWire set up behind a NAT listening on port 6346, but have the NAT set up to forward port 6666 to 6346 on that IP. LimeWire may correctly receive an incoming connection, but it won't know which port to advertise unless you explicitly tell it 6666. |

| I think LW should follow other P2P apps like Bearshare and force IP automatically. This makes it easier for users to configure LW, and as an effect it would likely increase (albeit small) the number of non firewalled hosts. I think Philippe Verdy made the same recommandation a while back (I asked for it too). It is easier for an newbie to forward NAT and the IP on the same port and then see that it works than getting to know how things exactly work and play with different ports. mes 2 cents! Ciao

| Hi Sam, In BS we have only one port configuration -- the one you're listening on. If a public IP connects to it, then BS advertises that same port. While your example is technically correct, IMHO it seems like a pretty rare case that shouldn't interfere with the practical solution. I suspect that even if you decided to ignore the population of users that forward different ports to their protected machines, surely you would convert so many firewalled users to direct-connect users that it would more than compensate for the mis-advertized hits. FWIW, I don't recall any complaints from BS users for lack of this flexibility. All this because I never remember to check the Force IP button until I've messed around with it for a couple of days... |
