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.

Are you sure your Netopia is only a modem? Which model is it? They also make routers. If you have dual routers set up without realising, this could be the problem. ie: only one router is opening it's NAT port for FW.

Have you tried by-passing the Netgear router, just connecting with the Netopia. See if FW still gets a firewall message.

Default Netopia Broadband Router 3386 ENT Series 4-port 10/100 Switch

Dubbin

I have been reading this thread, over the past week, with growing interest, but I have not really had anything to add until now.

I found the following product description on Amazon (US) which may show the reason why you are having the problems you currently have:
Quote:
The Cayman 3300-ENT Series is a family of business-class routers designed for mass deployment in distributed enterprise and TeleSOHO applications. The Cayman 3300-ENT Series allows business ISPs, managed service providers, and enterprises to deliver business-class functionality in a compact device ideal for small branch office and home office environments.

The 3300-ENT Series supports the main access technologies for today's small office environment. Cable/DSL models with Ethernet WAN interfaces turn any cable modem or DSL connection into a secure and remotely manageable end-point.
Now, my interpretation of this description is that your router is primarily designed as a "business use only" tool and as such P2P usage has been deliberately excluded from it's functionality.

You see, for a long time now P2P applications have been seen as dangerous to have in a business environment so much so that there are protective apps that will delete any and all P2P apps as soon as they detect them, because they are seen as malware.

Also, I'm sure you know that ISPs the world over ban P2P app usage from their networks.

Therefore, taking these points forward, it would be seen as beneficial for routers, designed for business use, to automatically block P2P usage.

Finally, to confirm or disprove my idea you should call the manufacturer's help desk and ask them whether or not you can use P2P apps with their product.

Sorry Dubbin (and Forum Members)

I got my title in my last post slightly wrong and I can't change it. It is meant to say:

Netopia Broadband Router ENT Series

not the full blown specific model number as well.

thanks for your response, UK. but when i was just using my modem [Netopia Cayman] i WAS able to use FW with no problems whatsoever. it's until i bought the Netgear router that i had the brick wall, instantly. so i am 100% sure its not my modem, but the new Netgear router causing all the connection problems.

You have misread my post, I have not mentioned anything anywhere about your modem. I specifically wrote only about your router.

I hope that this clears up any misunderstandings.

Having had a quick skim through your router's user guide I would suggest two things.

1) Upgrade your router's software, this may help because if there is a bug preventing your system form working properly then an upgrade may fix it.

2) Port forwarding, this would be your last resort to get your router working the way you want it to.

Now that I know exactly that your router is designed for the domestic market, and not for the small business sector as I thought before, there should be no real reason why your machine can't work with Frostwire.

thanks for you response and input so far UKbob!

i booted up my pc which is where i installed the router on. and checked the firmware for any upgrade, and there is none as of now. so port forwarding is my only option? i have no idea how to do that lol

Default Port Forwarding

Dubbin

Before you try to port forward your router, please check that you have got UPnP enabled on the following.

a) Your Windows O/S
b) Frostwire
c) Your Router
d) Your Modem

If all the above have UPnP enabled then your Frostwire should work if, however, it still shows the brick wall then you will have to try port forwarding as a last resort.

Here is the URL leading to the instructions on how to port forward your router.

PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Limewire on the Netgear WGR614v9



UK Bob

PS. The Port Fowarding people also have an application called "PFConfg" which will automatically port forward your router, you may want to get this (it cost $29.95). I've never used this app so cannot vouch for it.

PPS. The above URL leads to port forwarding your router with Limewire, I could not find any instructions specifically for Frostwire.
