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 Can't connect on Mac OS9

Hey there,

Can anyone lend a hand and help me get connected. I have read some tips from user Lord of the Rings and gave that a shot. I deleted the .limewire folder (while the program was off) and had MRJ already installed. Still nothinng. I also read the firewall information but was unable to locate any firewall on my HD. Any thoughts? Anyone with a similar problem.
Thanks for your help

How do you connect to the Internet? Do you connect through a university network or ISP? You might have to contact your network administrator or ISP to open a port so you can connect and download from the gnutella network. The port that LimeWire uses to connect is port 6346. I hope this helps solve your problem.

Default problem connecting on Mac OS9

I connect through an ISP with an external DSL (speedstream) modem. Can I set up the port myself? Any tips on doing that?

Thanks!

komonkey, I think you will have to call up your ISP and ask them to open port 6346 so that you will be able to connect and download from the gnutella network using LimeWire. I don't think you will be able to do it yourself. I hope this helps.

komonkey you're using an Efficient(Siemens) Speedstream right. Chances are it is 'at least' semi-blocking your connection. You will need to forward a port within your modem. I can hopefully give you instructions on how to do this if you can tell us your model number. Many high speed modems have a type of internal firewall. And port 6346 is one of those they block, at least partially.

I'm using an Efficient Networks Speedstream 5100. Any advice would be great. Much obliged LOTR.

2 Steps & the 1st one is the easiest:
1. Within LW: Force IP instructions & sample image

2. Port Forwarding for the Efficient Speedstream 5100 Router But you 'will need' to set up a Static IP so see the link to the Static IP guide at the top of that page. Otherwise evertime you log-on to your computer your modem will have a different ip & thus your settings will have been in vain. Don't forget to SAVE all your settings & for some modems you need to reboot them after these type of changes. You need to use Port 6346 for the port from & to.

This will hopefully fix your problems. After completion 'leave LW on for a time' to allow it to connect.

Default still stuck

The first step was easy but when I go to the following step...

"Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. The routers default ip address is 192.168.254.254"

I get an error message that reads "connection failure has occured".
Is that the correct routing number? I tried to cut and paste it and type it in as well in both explorer and netscape. I also added www. & http:// in front of it and that didn't work either.
Is there another way to connect to?

Are you sure it's your router address or your computer address.

You might take a look there komonkey http://home.visi.com/support/dsl/5200/
Normally you "should" be able to access the router with that address http://192.168.254.254/
(can you connect with dialup on lw?)

Ciao
