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.

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. |

| What I don't understand is how some people can make running LimeWire sound so difficult! When we first installed it I had never used a P2P program before but we had gotten it to work for us without having any problems. The only time we ever had a problem with it was when it had shut down on my sister for no reason(we didn't have a virus). That only happened twice and ever since then it's been running great for us. |

| I wonder if they ever tried to run it with Java 1.6 beta after uninstalling all other versions of Java, & deleted their LW prefs folder also. Who knows what they tried. They didn't tell us specifically. Oh well ... there's other gnutella progs out there. |

| Hold on now, You guys WILL NOT be able to solve my problem. I can almost guarantee it. I tried other file sharing programs to see what happens, and they cause the DSL to crash also. So, the problem may not be Limewire. I have had very few problems with limewire, but, you see, I am troubleshooting my connection issue. If you have any suggestions, I am open to them. But, I seriously doubt you asre going to be able to help me. I happen to know a little about computers. |

| Sorry I'm not sure which connection devices you are using? Can you tell us which brand & model modem/routers you are using please? Also check: MS & 3rd party patches Who is your ISP (internet service provider)? What happens if you try to downld a magnet link from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml Describe to us what happens. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? What firewalls do you have & which ones are active? Which ones (if any) did you make special allowances for in the settings to allow LW full access? |

| Alright, I removed limewire completely from my machine. I redownloaded it, but have not installed it yet. I tried, but when it was downloading to install, it crashed the DSL, so I haven't tried again yet. I will though. I don't think it's a SP2 thing, because I haven't had a real serious problem with crashing until I moved to a wireless setup. Like I said, I had a cable modem when I lived in a different place, and it NEVER crashed. No connection problem at all. That's why I'm not so sure it is entirely a limewire thing, but a problem with file sharing applications in general. But, when it comes down to it, I don't know. That's why, with you're help, I hope to learn more and hopefully solve this issue. So, when I tried to download the magnetic link thing, my browser (firefox) said the protocol was not associated with any program. I don't think it's a firewall thing, because I've never had any issues before. But, I use Zone Alarms and Nvidia firewalls (plus my Modem hasd one built in - a Westell Versalink 327v), but I didn't have to do any special configurations. I'm going to try and install LW again. |

| Just curious but what are the symptoms of the crash you are experiencing. Is LimeWire freezing on install. Are you loosing connection. Are you getting the BSOD ? etc. A detailed description might help figure this out

| Downlding the magnet link whilst LW is not installed serves no purpose. Once you start the downld, LW should take over the downld. I must say though, it looks to me like you have more than one active firewall. Almost all firewall companies recommend against doing such. The reason is it can result in inconsistent results & even result in less security than just having a single firewall because of the clashes between the firewalls. That's software for you!!! Choose one & one only! Choose the one you feel most confident with & configure that one to allow LW total access. And disable the other software firewall. All wireless devices have NAT firewalls. The question is whether those particular device(s) are able to utilise UPnP (universal plug & play) which allows the program to communicate directly with the device to open whichever ports are necessary for that program to operate. For LW it's usually only port 6346 for connecting though on occasions it may also like to use a different listening port for incoming requests. From memory, Westell do not offer UPnP abilities. So if you want to solve your firewall issue, you WILL need to forward a port on your device. It's not so hard. See http://www.portforward.com/english/r...W/Limewire.htm The most important step is the 1st one of setting up a static ip which is the very 1st step. Then just set up the ports you wish to open. If you don't set up a static ip properly then the entire process won't work properly after your ip changes (ie: you still have a dynamic ip!) |
