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 ZoneAlarm incompatibilty

If you use ZoneAlarm and find your system resources getting burned up fast when you launch Xolox, try shutting of ZoneAlarm. This solved the problem for me.

I have asked Zone Labs to investigate, but no response yet...

Yea, I had the same problem. When I had Zone Alarm up, my system died, but when I shut down Zone Alarm, it works near perfect now.

Default blocked traffic

Whenever you disconnect from the network, you just dissapear, but your IP is still in people's host caches and query hits that were sent out may still be on someone's display. All this means that even after you are gone, people will try to connect to you for a while, and try to request files, even though you're not connected ot the network.

Not only...

ZA is alerting me every few seconds during I am "connected", caused by mistakes or portscans etc. - this is "normal" for the gnet!

Sometimes I have more than 1000 alerts...

Default ZAP gets confused now and again.

I use ZA Pro on a win2k pro box and only have problems once in a while. Not in the resource area tho, I seemed to have escaped that little malfunction. ZAP seems to get confused as to what should and should not be allowed to happen every now and again.

Xolox is not the only app that gets hit, Front Page 2002, Outlook 2002, Dreamweaver, Opera....ect. Everything can be going great, then WHAM, ZAP stops allowing connections to and from. Same thing happens on another box with pretty much the same set up except for 98SE vs Win2KP.

Don't really know why, I just shut down and restart ZAP and everything is back to the way it should be. The only time this gets to be a headache is during the night time dl's and ul's. I'll forget to shut down ZAP and go to bed waking up to a bunch of 1% complete files.

And don't expect Zlabs to be to forthcoming with suggestions or help with this. Last time (and there are 2 reasons I call it the "last time") I called Zlabs with a problem (I actually paid for my copy) I had to talk to someone that was saying "Thank you, drive through." and "you want; uhh, fries or somethin with that?" the week before.

Hello!

When ZA ask you if you want to allow the program to connect...
just check the option "remenber..." next time ZA will not ask!

You can change it in the ZA program, too (under programs!).

Default ZAP Permissions

Yep, been dere done dat. Checked all the doh! factor stuff.

When I wrote "Everything can be going great, then WHAM, ZAP stops allowing connections to and from" thats just it. ZAP just stops things from happening. I'll be publishing my my stuff left and right, then without doing anything different....full stop. I'll have Outlook up and running checking mail automatically, 3 - 4 hours later:

Task 'Work (Outgoing Only) - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0D) : 'Unable to find the e-mail server. Please verify the server information in your account properties.'

Check ye 'ole ZAP alert icon and wow it's flashing letting me know that Outlook was prevented from connecting to the server. Sometimes I get the 'Temporarily' not allowed sometimes the 'Prevented' mesage.

Same thing with Frontpage, IRC Clients, FTP Stuff, and Xolox; running fine and doing thier thing for hours on end, then nuthin.

I'm sure it's one of the services/processes I have running (just haven't taken the time to isolate it) since I have yet to hear about these symptoms from anyone else.

One day I'll get sick of it and do the ole process 'o elimination, but till the lazy gene gose back into remission I'll live with it.
