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. |

| Make sure that you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured properly Firewall setup Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall)? Read through this thread, it has lots of info about connection problems Connection problems? Check here first! Check out the info about modem/router firewalls... you could try enabling UPnP if your router supports it & choosing that option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Port forwarding is another option (often more reliable than enabling UPnP)...there's info about that too. If you're still stuck, post back with your details OS(Win XP etc) LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) Firewall you're using Modem/router brand & model ISP Connection type (DSL etc) Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Is this your first try with LW |

| We are not psychic on the forum so your specs. Pretty please with sugar on top  You can just press Quote and fill in the answers. It's really really easy  1. What's your connection like - do you have any green bars at all? Is there a brick wall in front of world ? 2. Do this test & see if it works. What does it say ? http://www3.limewire.com:6346 3. What are your details OS ? (Win XP, Mac OSX etc.) How much free harddiskspace ? How much RAM ? LW & Java version ? (In Limewire press Help>about LW & you'll see) What Firewall you're using ? Modem/router brand & model ? Are you using portforwarding, UPnP or nothing ? (Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config) What is your listening port ? (Same as above) ISP (Internet Service Provider) ? Connection type ? (Dial-Up, ADSL, DSL etc) + Speed Up/Down if you know Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Has Limewire ever worked for you ? If so how long have you been using it ? Have you tried using any other P2P apps & if so, do you have the same problems ? Also include any attempts to fix this. It helps people rule things out |

| I'm thinking firewall is the problem. BTW Turning the firewall off is not a good idea. Do you get any connection attemts in Limewire ? Press connections tab to see (if you don't have that then go to view>Show/Hide>Connections) First of all... Are you sure that you have only The Norton Firewall enabled ? (XP Firewall or any other disabled.) It's really important to only have one firewall Second... Have you made new exeptions for Limewire in your Firewall exceptions ? If not then delete the old exceptions and make new ones. You could try forwarding ports in your firewall In Limewire go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall config and choose to forward a port (recommended one between 49152 and 65535) and then set the exact same port as your listening port. Press apply then OK. Then make exceptions for that port in The Norton Firewall (Both TCP and UDP) Hope this helps If it doesn't then You could also check with your ISP if they have some kind of firewall there that you go through Last edited by Sleepless; August 15th, 2006 at 03:34 PM. |
