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. |

 Windows firewall is off - but I am still firewalled? 1. OS version? XP HE SP2 2. What firewalls you have? My windows firewalls are turned off 3. How much ram? 512MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 51.3 GB 5. Connection type? Satellite from HughesNet 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Direcway DW7000 7. Where are you trying to connect from? house 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW-4.12.6 Java-1.5.0_08 9. Who is your ISP provider? HughesNet 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? "Your test worked!" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem experienced user 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes Ok, here is my problem. One day, a few months ago, I opened Limewire and noticed that it was quite slow to connect. When it was finally connected, I only got few search results and my download speeds were very slow (No more than 5 or 6 KB/s and thats if it would even download at all). I have since then uninstalled my anti-virus software and turned off my windows firewall. When I connect to limewire, the icon indicating that I am firewalled still shows up at the bottom. I would imagine this has something to do with my HughesNet (fomerly DirecWay) service, but I couldn't figure out why this just decided to happen one day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!  |

| Rather than turn off your Windows firewall, configure it for LW Firewall configuration instructions (click on link) Does your modem support UPnP? If it does, make sure it's enabled & then choose the UPnP option in LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Check out the link below for a bit of info about how to log into your modem & also there's some info about HughesNet/Direcway fair access policy...possibly why your downloads are so slow! http://www.copperhead.cc/DW7000.htm Have a look through this thread too, maybe try changing ports & deleting the preferences folder as LOTR suggests http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ight=satellite This is all the info I could find about port forwarding for that modem, not sure how much help it's going to be  http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-10610 If you use the forum search to look for HughesNet, Direcway or satellite you might find some help in older threads as well. |

P2P's. Now with the use of any p2p, my uPnP can not be mapped. And according to the last forum you showed me, the only way you can possibly foward ports with DW7000 is with a router, which I do not have nor would I have any use for other than to foward any ports. So I guess until I can get something other than HughesNet around here I'm stuck. I hate anything related to HughesNet or Direcway and would never recommend them to ANYBODY! Thank you for all of your help!! |

| So much for your Xmas present! Sorry, but I don't have a satellite connection so they're a mystery to me  Did you try changing ports? Something between 49152 - 65535 (people have success with 64049) or port 80. I don't know if this will help you at all: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...86&postcount=4 |
