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. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. 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. 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. 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. 10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit. 13. 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. |

 Firewall Issues Hello! I am using Comodo Personal Firewall, and I have Limewire on the Trusted Applications List. I have my Windows Firewall turned off, and I cannot seem to get Limewire to recognize that there is no firewall on. I can search for music wonderfully, but when I click to download, nothing happens. I have followed the instructions given from the website to make sure the Gnuetella network was open, and the TCP and UDP Ports were open. I have a Turbo Charged Connection, and I do not understand why this is happening. I have also put my firewall on 'Allow All' and even tried different firewalls. Does anyone have any suggestions please?  Thank you very much!!   |

| There would be a NAT firewall built into your modem... Take a look at this thread and follow the UPnP set up, if that doesn't work post back with the brand and name of your modem and we can help you Port Forward... Connection problems? Check here first!

| I got the model of my modem/router, and it isn't on any of those lists. It's a Netgear. I'm sorry to cause trouble. I just can't get this figured out. Thank you so much for your help! : ) |

| MsPinkFreud Unfortunately, most if not all modem/routers now have built in firewalls and it is this firewall that LW detects. You will have to go through the "Port Forwarding" process to allow LW full access to the internet and P2P network, there is no other choice. Therefore, go to this URL: http://www.portforward.com/help/portforwarding.htm Find your modem/router and follow the instructions to "Port Forward" LW. UK Bob |

| I read about Port Forwarding, and I think I understand it, I just don't know how to do it. That page only explained what it is, it did not tell me how to go about doing it. Thank you very much! : ) |

| You have to navigate your way to your modem/router model, still if you say you have a Netgear Router then try this URL: http://www.portforward.com/english/r...outerindex.htm You will find all the Netgear models on this page “Port Forwarding” has instructions for. UK Bob PS. Admittedly, it is not clear how to navigate from the main opening page to the information you want. |

| I'm sorry, but someone just gave me that link and I just did it, and it didn't work : ( I don't think it can be fixed. Thank you so much though! Maybe it's because I don't have a Static IP, and I can't get one. My ISP doesn't do them. Thank you very much though. |
