Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

Lots of people are having problems with Tiscali all of a sudden. If you use the forum search to look for Tiscali, you'll find heaps of threads.

First of all, try changing ports...that fixed the prob for 1 lucky person
In LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to one in the range of 49152 - 65535 (say 64049) > apply. Any ports forwarded thru a router must be the same number as LW's listening port!

Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the blue globe) & if so, has it always been there?
What's the brand & model of your router? Are you using it with UPnP enabled, ports forwarded or neither?

AFAIK that modem doesn't have an internal firewall. Do you connect to a router as well?

You can do what I did with Tiscalli, when I switched to BT I lost my Tiscali emails, but, after a month or so I went and opened a Tiscali email account, this is free and gives you back your email address, but the only dis-advantage is you cannot use your existing Tiscali email address for about a month

I'm having the same prob.....
I really neeed your help but the prob is that your solutions are aimed at ppl who know what they're doing with their computers, unlike me who's computer illiterate!!!
I have abs no idea abt some of the stuff u go on abt but have opened LW today to no avail!! No connection! I've always had Windows firewall up as this is the on;y one I use so I've disabled it for now to see if it will help. Is this safe? It's never been a prob...
Pls help as u know ur stuff but I'm stuck! Is it Tiscali or me?
What does 'TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts'????
I really HATE all this jargon that I dont understand!!!
I know I sound dumb, sorry.....

chow_chow, can you please start a new thread? You have more chance of your question being answered if your thread is separated from others, plus it gets very confusing when two or more start asking questions in other OP's threads.
Thanks

Default Limewire - Tiscali

Ive just noticed that when the few times I can get limewire to connect and download, that the brick is NOT in front of the wall - all other times (when it won't work ) the brick is there . Am I right in assuming this has nothing to do with tiscali and is "something " else stopping me downloading ?
