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. |

 I Guess I Have To Give Up On LimeWire... Seriously, a lot of you people are jerks. For real. I've asked for help like 9 times in the last week, and nobody does anything but give me the stupid connection problems link. I don't know anything about Port Forwarding, UPnP or Firewall Configurations. Not all of us are programmers and developers. Nobody offers to help me on these boards.....EVER. Instead, I'm told, "Go here... Go here..." Then, when I click on the link, it's just another thread with NONE of the information I need. Last try: I configured my the Firewall on my PC to make an exception for LimeWire. My router has UPnP enabled automatically. However, there is still a brick wall in front of the world icon, and I can't download more than around 17kb/s. I never had this problem when I had LimeWire Basic. Can someone help me, or am I going to be given the same link for the 7,408,273,408,273th time? -Windows XP -Broadband -Router: NETGEAR WGR614 -ISP: Charter Communications -House -LimeWire Pro 4.12 -"Your Test Worked!" -Yes, there is a brick wall in front of the world icon on LimeWire... -Touche' Last edited by Touche'; May 12th, 2007 at 11:54 AM.  |

 Calling us jerks well, sorry if you feel that way about the forum. Don't forget as a Pro user you are able to get Pro Support. Just log into their Support page under Pro help. I won't provide links as you obviously don't like them. Not sure why you have the firewall icon. I do know users of Charter have had a history of problems with that ISP. Just as an experiment, you could turn your XP firewall off momentarily (whilst LW is closed), re-open LW & see if you still have that brickwall icon. If no, then you probably need to go back & recheck your settings for LW in the XP firewall. If yes, then that leaves it up to being either your router or ISP. Netgear do have their UPnP on by default (yes they do still have NAT firewalls.) But perhaps the UPnP is not working reliably for some reason. (UPnP allows the program like LW to communicate directly with the router to open necessary ports whilst the program is open. LW supports UPnP.) I won't dare suggest anything such as deleting prefs or checking your version of Java. Some people using Pro have had problems with the Java 1.6 |

| I said a lot of people on here are jerks because instead of helping me, they decided to be a smart-a$$. So many people talk like they're above me just because they know how to configure LimeWire, and I can't stand. I do, however, appreciate your help. I just tried out your suggestion, and no luck. I'm just gonna have to uninstall LimeWire. My downloads are now officially down to like 7kb/s. -Touche' |

| Download speeds usually depend upon your sources & what they have available or are offering. But your scenario sounds a little suspicious. Try an experiment, download a magnet link from the following magnet site & tell us what happens re: connecting, download speeds, consistency in speeds, status, etc. + MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content You could re-check that UPnP is turned on in both LW & your Netgear. For LW under menu bar, Tools->Options->Advanced->Firewalls. Perhaps even change it do something else & then change it back. For Netgear, see similar instructions on setting it up here to be sure it is turned on: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...gearMR814.mspx Perhaps even try rebooting your router. Or turning it off for 10-15 mins & turning it back on. I notice you edited your post after I first posted lol  Not important.  |

| it took me forever to figure out how to get rid of the brick wall but this worked for me... turn off limewire, go to start>control panel (must be in classic view) > firewall and then click on turn off.... then restart your computer and then restart limewire.. give it a minute and the brick should disappear... also what java version do you have? go to your add/remove area and see what javas you have... |
