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.

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.

 I don't understand the following: 3. Finally, if you are using NAT (meaning that the IP address of your machine is 10.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x ) now, might be able to connect, search and download from the network but no one will be able to upload from you. If you have taken the advise of others to force your IP using limewire then your half way there, as your port forwarding is working correctly. But, you need to FORCE THE IP OF YOUR ROUTER or FIREWALL to the network. To find out what your ip is from the machine that you use to get on Gnutella open a web browser to http://www.whatismyip.com (write this IP down and force this IP in Limewire) If you need help testing this Just post a reply to this thread. I am new to Limewire and new to Wireless internet and a router. So I don't know what means to force my ip or router...can you explain in laymens language??? Thanks!

 Assistance The next time you are online why don't you send me an email with your IP address and a schedule of when you will be online. I will attempt to direct connect to your machine to see if I can upload anything from your machine.

 I highly recommend the following. 1) make sure everything is set to the defaults that is, undo any changes you made to try to get this to work. 2) Assuming that with the default configuration you are able to search and download then the only thing you are looking to do is to be able to upload files. 3) Do some research on how to forward tcp port 6346 to your private IP address. That should solve your issue assuming you don't have any XP or Norton firewalls installed. Quote:

| Test Page was a success! BUT Received incoming this session: false STILL!!!!!! i have set static ip (on LAN--WANip is dynamic) " " " fowarded port 6346 " " " opened port 6346 through firewalls (router + ZA expert rules) " " " forced ip ect...ect...ect...ect.......... i have searched/studied this forum/ router help pages/ ect... for weeks w/o solution. LW works ok now as shielded leaf but needs a couple DAYS to REALLY heat up and i'm a compulsive rebooter. i know my system VERY well to be only a selftaught wannabe ***uru. this "Old Dog" IS learning new tricks lol. i did find a broadband forum whose users on my ISP accuse them of blocking ports and of course my ISP denies this. i hope in the near future to serve my own webpage so i wonder about port 80 too... SSSSOOOOOO.......: Q1: does Test Page test only outgoing port? Q2: does/would/could ISPs block ports incoming yet leave same port outgoing open? Q3: can "Yall here" point me to utilities and/or net services (repudible yet pref. free) that will list all my open/closed ports so i can find alternates for this and future needs? my skills include setting up a noncritical boot part/OS to run w/in routers DMZ for these (Q3) tests but such a hassle i want only once so comprehensive tests are a must. Q4: please suggest workable alternate ports that i can try, i saw a post here somewhere but lost it. Q4b: can i get ultrapeer status (my goal) using alt ports? i think so but... Q4c: since outgoing 6346 is working will changing just the incoming port do the job? refer to Q4b above. last resort i have to try "The Proxy Solution" , hard to trust that guy though lol. thank u for all the help already found and to come. |

| oh...also (off topic) Q5: does opening these one or two ports to this one open-source app constitute a security risk outside of my shared folders? |

| Solutions Shielded Ultrapeer is a normal status for leaf nodes. I'm not sure what it is you are attempting to accomplish?However, I think that you have done a lot more than you needed to. With that being said. you will not become an ultrapeer if you cannot receive connections. You will not become an ultrapeer if you machine has a history of short or low uptimes. You will not become an ultrapeer if you have a low bandwidth connection and finally, you will not become an ultrapeer if the network doesn't need anymore. If you want to port scan your computer try this http://scan.sygate.com They offer several different types of scans. My recommendation do only that which is necessary to achieve the desired result.

| got it working but.... busybusybusyoh... HI! kk just a quick update... found one little button hidden deep in ZA's front end (block servers) that i must have set some time ago...and forgot...duh again fixed it (no expert rules) and changed back to port 6346 recieved incoming: TRUE!!! much better ul/dl speeds but after running 8-10hrs (still as leaf!!) system started dragging and buddy complained that the whole LAN/WAN gateway was slowing down found out the router was blocking a LOT of "ping of death" attacks and ZA blocking even more (i presume other exploits)...all aimed at EVERY port i had tried to run LW on connection view shows "dropped I/O" @ 20-80%/0%...i quessing same problem SCARRRRYYYY sooo...until i learn (even MORE) about security.... port forwarding disabled... LW reset to defaults (PnP)... and i'll TRY to be happy with "leaf" for a little while.... Last edited by wfdrouinjr : April 9th, 2005 at 11:01 PM. |

| Obsession With UltraPeer Status What is your obsession with UltraPeer Status? Pings and Pong messages are a normal part of the Gnutella protocol specification. I highly recommend that you read upon it.

| http://www.whatismyip.com (write this IP down and force this IP in Limewire) Hi Lee Thanks very much for all your tips. Have read the whole discussion but not too good at technical interpretation. Sorry. How exactly does one 'force the ip' I found at the web site? Am using LW 4.8.1 Pro on a Mac with OS 10.3.9 I do have a netGear router. Have set the options correctly I think ??? Just ticked UPnP in LW Prefs. and also in router. Greg |
