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. |

 limewire probs, are they related to TCP thing Limewire used to work but now it doesn't. It has an excellent connection but when i try to download all I get is need more sources even if there are 90+ I run Windows XP and it recently installed an update and a firewall on my comp, i thought this could be prob so turned it off but didn't work. The problems only started after the limewire update 4.2.6. These are my connections (T1 i think on a uni network): Local Area Connection - Realtek RTL8139/810x family fast ethernet NIC 1394 Connection net adapter Have tried deleting .limewire folder, did a bug report thing said false, downloaded a new java thing, did something like writing gnutella and writing some port number and adding it to a list tried to install winmx cause had given up on limewire and it said: "win mx is unable to receive incoming TCP connections from the internet. This could be due to many things, such as settings in your operating system, a software based firewall, the use of a proxy server, or a broadband router/firewall. Depending on your exact configuration, you may be able to open or forward an incoming TCP port, but it is not required." I realise it says this is not required but could this have something to do with limewire problems or not can anyone suggest anything my firends on the same network can get file sharing programmes to work?????? Just tried and win mx doesnt work either can someone please help Last edited by bevwano; January 15th, 2005 at 06:18 PM.  |

 It sounds like you updated to XP SP2 right? This has caused so many people problems. Some have even uninstalled it. Configure your firewalls to give LW full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml (ie: XP firewall & any other you have.) Try to force ip: Force IP instructions & sample image Go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ & it should say Test Page was a success. What happened for you? Update your Java: Java 1.5 (take the JRE) (LW needs the latest.) So you're trying to connect at uni. Are you also trying to connect at home without success? |

| Thanks for advice, yes did update to windows xp sp2: Tried configuring firewalls, forcing IP, my test page was a success and I have downloaded the java program but still won't work. I have also tried not letting limewire automatically connect at the startup and then connecting later on but that didn't work Haven't tried to connect from home as we have dial up and its pretty poor even for surfing the web. Is it now a case of deleting the windows update or do you have any other ideas? |

| I'm not sure why you'd need SP2 if you'e not running a company network. That's what it was designed for. But people tend to update without investigating what it's for & whether there's been any problems with it. There is a patch for it but it doesn't work for everybody. In the connections section there's a sticky or 2 about sp2. You could try this: Repair LimeWire using the Add/Remove Programs utility. Go to Control Panel then Add/Remove Programs & click on Limewire on the Change/Remove button & it comes up with options and one of them is Repair. You could instead try the beta 4.3.2 http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml or an earlier version http://www9.limewire.com:82/download/ |
