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.

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. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 MHatten42, AFAIK that Conexant D850 is an internal modem...do you have an external modem/router? As you can see here... Running LimeWire on Vista ...port forwarding might be necessary if there is an external device. Try the tips below & see if they're any help with your problem of losing connection internet connection terminates after limewire start Because Vista is so new & not many of us are using it (I'm not), you might have to be patient & wait until a Vista user sees your post. Posting the same question 6 times is not going to get you an answer any faster. Forum Rules

| Most likely LimeWire is overloading your modem/Router some how. I am using a linksys wired router which had the same problem when I was running XP Pro until I changed my firmware it took 2 different versions of firmware before I found one that would not drop the connection when running LimeWire. Whenever it drooped the connection I would have to reboot the router in order to make it connect again. Since I changed the firmware it very rarely happens any more and it has not happened once yet with Vista ultimate. I would suggest looking around for different firmware for your modem/router. The link below is a good place to start looking for firmware and solutions. http://www.dslreports.com/forums/all

| McAfee! I read this thread where someone contacted a Gateway rep who told them that McAfee was interfering with Vista alot! Uninstall it. I tried it, (even though I don't own a Gateway), and IT WORKED!!! LW is running flawlessly and my internet isn't hijacked anymore! Give it a try and post what you think. |

My internet would go down as soon as I tried to download it. It is the Mcafee anti-virus system. As soon as I deleted it I was okay. I have VISTA home basic and an e-machine with an aol dial-up.My forum is Beating a dead horse***-connection problems. Please post if it works so people can have a general idea on what's going on and what they can do to fix it.Good Luck  |

| McAfee I'm having the same problem and I do have McAfee but what if I don't want to uninstall it? Is there any settings that I can change in McAfee to make it work without uninstalling the program? I kind of wanted to keep my antivirus program becuz I'm kind of paranoid about things.  Or is there a better FREE antivirus program that I can use?
