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.

Default I have found a solution to getting Limewire to work with Tiscali

All,

After much thought about why Tiscali will not allow Limewire to work I determined that it is because they are blocking all port apart fromt ftp, http etc... which is true for the most part.. except there are some ports still open as others have said, what Tiscali have done is to stop incoming ports but not stop outgoing ones, so if you do the limewire test and goto :

http://www3.limewire.com:6346/

the site will display, but if you go to a port testing website and test that port on your computer it will be blocked from allowing incoming data through that port on Tiscalis servers.

So go to:

http://www.auditmypc.com/security-scan.asp

and in the third box down you can select the range of incoming ports to scan your computer for, try each range and then when you find a warning that says a port is open on your computer use that port number in Limewire, Firewall Listening port box. (don't use port 80 though as it will be in use already if the website shows that port)

I've just done this and it showed that Tiscali was allowing ports 4443 and 5190 and 5566 were open, now I can connect again.

Regards,

Dan

Thanks a lot for that Dan

I had a couple of people able to connect last week, after changing ports & I'd given them ports to try in the range of 49152 - 65535...so I assumed they'd used one of those (though they didn't say).

Default I tried all this but got no joy

I tried the port scan but it's all new stuff to me, I dunno the range of ports.

Tried changing ports in LW to the ports reccomended on the forum i.e 4443 and 5190 and 5566 but got no joy.

Do I have to change both listening port and Manual Port Forward ? because i've tried both that and just leaving the Use UPnP but nothing has worked.

Is this definatley an ISP issue as I've used Tiscali for years with several different file sharers and never had this problem until a couple of days ago?

It's a bummer

Hi,

for about the past 6 weeks, I have experienced the same problem with tiscali as many other users here and in other forums.

I have switched the port to one indicated as open by the software. And it worked perfectly again. For two days and now it is back to blockage again. They seem to be able to detect open ports...

regards,
strucker

Default That's great...but I already switched

Hi,

I tried changing to the port numbers I was advised to by the good ppl on this forum but nothing worked...maybe I did it wrong. In the end I ditched LW and got Bearshare and guess what...it works perfectly.

I really dunno about Tiscali blocking ports I've used Tiscali for years with no probs at all until recently and the change of software sorted that out.

I still find this port problem baffling as I followed all advise but nothing worked...maybe I'm just a bit dumb.

Anyhow Bearshare works for me.

Cheers

I have a solution for how to get limewire working with tiscali, but not everyone is going to like it (I've only just found this out, as I am a LW newbie, only been running for 4 days).

Ok, the solution is this: DON'T TRY TO CONNECT IN THE EVENINGS! I have only once (the first time) managed to do it, but all other times I have connected, I have tried in the morning. As I am disabled / housebound it's not a problem for me, and I can run limewire all day long until the evening, when my connection drops away to nothing.

This may not be official policy, it may even only be a temporary effect, but it's been true the last 4 days. I don't know what the cause is (it might be just 'one of those things', like I could never use RapidShare when I was with another ISP, but with tiscali I can).

Gotta be worth a try though - have a quick go before you go to work, see if I'm right.

If you have a look at Tiscali's fair usage policy, it states that Tiscali will manage bandwidth during peak hours (6-11 pm)
