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 Connection problems with no router

Ok I hate to post yet another connection problems thread but ive tried everything.

First off im using Wild Blue Satellite service. A guy I spoke with said he is pretty sure they don't block anything.

I have a router but my computer is connected directly to the modem.

Wild Blue Box ---> My Computer ----> Wireless Router WRT54GX2 ---> 2 Computers (One running windows xp home sp2, and the other running windows media center) (both wireless)

anything past me shouldnt matter right?

Now my computer is a running windows xp with sp2 the windows firewall is disabled and the norton internet securtity that came with the computer was never setup and and was removed. I ran the test thing that i read in this forum to check port 6346 and it said it worked. But when I run limewire it says im behind a firewall. Also im running limewire 4.9.37. Ive changed the ports around and it doesn't make any difference it still doesn't work.

My computer is working as a server with internet connection sharing running. I even set the internet connection sharing to forward port 6346 to myself (even though i really shouldn't have to)

I also ran the program to change my half open connections from 10 to 50. So i think i covered just about every possible solution you guys have listed on the forum.

Ive also tried running other gnutella clients and none connect (frostwire and bearshare) also emule doesn't want to work either.

I could mess with seting up proxy's but it just seems like it should be working as it is.

This computer is an HP pavilion so could it possibly be some of their proprietary software maybe screwing it up? Im thinking of formatting and putting windows xp pro on it so its a clean version of windows without all the hp junk on it...let me know what u guys think.

Also the first time I ran this program it kind of connected but with few bars and it did download a song at less then 1 k/s but then it just stopped even doing that.

You are either behind a Firewall or your ISP is blocking P2P app my guess is the second since no P2P aps seem to work and since you said your computer is not going through the router. And you state that the windows firewall is disabled. You can try different ports and see if that helps.

I'm new here but just posted a possible option you might want to check in a new thread.

I had a similiar problem and discovered that my modem had an additional firewall I needed to disable once I disabled it I could connect with no problems.

You might check through your help section of your ISP provider or the support site for the type of modem you have. I do not recommend disabling all your firewalls but I disabled the additional firewall associated with my modem and kept my XP, SP2 firewall enabled.


Good Luck,
Dave
