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. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. 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. 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. 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. 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.

 A beginner who cant connect to Frostwire Hi. I'm not a technically minded person, but I'll try and give you as much detail as possible. I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 Broadband Connection 4mgbts (I think) Frostwire 4.17 I have used limewire with no problems before but recently couldn't connect to the network. As a result I downloaded Frostwire but with no success. After I installed the program it trys to connect but comes up with the error message "frostwire could not detect an internet connection. please check your firewall settings and try to restart frostwire ". If anyone could help me that would be great but could I please ask if you can take me through it in easy and simple way  |

| Have you enabled FW for the OSX firewall? If LW Will Not Connect My suggestion would be to downgrade your version of LW if possible. See if you still have any old version installers lying around. |

So .. obviously with both LW & FW being up the putt for some people I suggested an earlier version. It's much easier to get an earlier version of LW than it is for FW. Even old versions site doesn't list FW. But since he uses mac osx, he probably doesn't realise he has an old version installer in his browser (most likely Safari) download folder. Open Safari & go to Preferences & check where your safari download folder is.  BTW I have old OSX versions of both LW & FW ... I can host either if you wish. I do however have more versions of LW than FW. O.o |

| Still haven't managed to sort it out. But here's the new development. I went over a friends and managed to connect with frostwire. Got back home and nothing! Its not detecting a connection. I just got a new netgear router hoping that would solve the problem but nope! I'm really confused as to what I need to do now. I've been given links to other threads but dont have a scooby doo. Thanks people |

| System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) Is your OSX firewall on or off? Is there an allowance for all incoming for LW in the firewall rules? For some programs you need to remove the previous firewall rule & re-add it. I had that issue with Phex. Sounds like you may need to port forward your Netgear router. But until we know which model, etc.  |

| The firewall is on. When I go into 'system preferences' - 'sharing' - 'Firewall' it has a massive list. There are no ticked boxes next to any of the list apart from 'Network Time'. I thought it wouldn't have anything to do with the firewall as I hadn't changed any of the settings before or after I connected through my friends internet. But to be fair, I dont know what im talking about. The Netgear router is DG834G v3 -54 mbps ADSL. I dont have any idea how to 'port forward' so if you know what to do with this model and could talk me through it, your an absolute hero |

| 1. OSX firewall instructions: OSX Firewall settings for Tiger/Leopard. You'd probably need to do this for each of LimeWire & FrostWire. Make sure they are not using the same connection & listening ports. Check this via the program's preferences -> Advanced -> Firewalls. 2. Most important step about port forwarding is the very first one which you must do first: (a) Setting up a Static ip for OSX (b) Can't find mac instructions but windows will be very similar: Port Forwarding for the Netgear DG834G ... make a note of the difference in ip given between the two however. Also for LW or FW settings, see Manual port forward instructions & sample image |
