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.

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.

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.

| Don't forget that XP has it's own firewall, make sure that it's configured to allow LW (it's better to have the XP firewall enabled, rather than using no software firewall at all). User Cant Connect - LimeWire To find your modem/router, have a look at all the devices that plug into your computer & allow you to connect to the internet. You could have a modem & a separate router, or a modem-router combo, or just a simple modem. Look for boxes with LEDs...if there's no brand/model showing, have a look underneath  If this is a new problem, have you recently updated/upgraded your LW or updated your Java?? First thing to try is this: Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later. If you've recently updated Java, some people have had problems with Java 6 update 1. If that's what you're using, try the latest Java 6 update 2. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your old Java version(s) before you install this one. Java SE Downloads If that Java is no help, try this older version. Same deal with the JRE offline installer & removing other Java versions Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 If none of those help, try this. General Connection problems If that still doesn't help, get back to us & we'll try something different.
