Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you
LimeWire and FrostWire users 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.

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

Default My Vista and McAfee Solution worked

I was trying to run LW on Vista Home Premium and my internet connection crashed everytime I started LW. I also have McAfee Security Center running. After trying all recommendations w/o any luck. I searched and found the following fix for internet connection problems w/Vista and I'll be dammed it worked for me. I have LW & McAfee running as I type. Give it a try

Unbind TCP/IPv6.
  1. From the Windows Vista Start menu, click Network.
  2. In the Network window, click Network and Sharing Center.
  3. In the Network and Sharing Center window, click Manage network connections.
  4. In the Network Connections window, right-click the network connection you are trying to use (Wireless or Local Area Connection), and then click Properties.
  5. In the Properties dialog box, on the Networking tab, in the This connection uses the following items: area, click to clear check mark from Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). Click OK.
  6. Shut down Windows, restart the computer, and then try connecting to the Internet.
Change the adapter settings for TCP/IPv4.
  1. In the Network Connections window, right-click the network connection you are trying to use (Wireless or Local Area Connection), and then click Properties.
  2. In the Properties dialog box, on the Networking tab, click to select your network connection, and then click Configure.
  3. In the Controller Properties window, click the Advanced tab.
  4. On the Advanced tab, in the Properties area, click to select and then change the value of any option with an option of (IPv4) to Disabled. Click OK. The usual items to look for are: IPv4 Checksum Offload, TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4), UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4).

*growls*
I've purchased this in the past, and never had a problem with it. Then one day i try to dl some songs an it won't connect, kept giving some lame error, so i uninstalled it and reinstalled...Now every dam time i try loading LW i get kicked off the net..
i've done:
Unbind TCP/IPv6.
  1. From the Windows Vista Start menu, click Network.
  2. In the Network window, click Network and Sharing Center.
  3. In the Network and Sharing Center window, click Manage network connections.
  4. In the Network Connections window, right-click the network connection you are trying to use (Wireless or Local Area Connection), and then click Properties.
  5. In the Properties dialog box, on the Networking tab, in the This connection uses the following items: area, click to clear check mark from Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). Click OK.
  6. Shut down Windows, restart the computer, and then try connecting to the Internet.
then tried doing the other one but cant find any:
The usual items to look for are: IPv4 Checksum Offload, TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4), UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4).
this is driving me insane, i've purchased this again 2 weeks ago thinking maybe my membership ran out or something..paying for something i can't even use ;/

We will have to troubleshoot our way through this...

Try Port Forwarding as your router has an inbuilt Nat Firewall...
These are your instructions...
Port Forwarding for the Belkin F5D7230-4

Let me know how that goes, even if the wall doesn't disappear, leave the port forward set up that you do...

Don't give up just yet, there are still a few more things to try...

Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder/s...This will reset your configurations back to default and get rid of any corruption that may of happened...

Don't worry about the preference folder at the moment, we will get back to that if this doesn't help...

Just double check that you have port forwarded correctly...

What Port number did you use ??
Did you only use just that number in the TCP and UDP boxes ??
Did you use that number in the manual port forward option and the listening port option in limewire ??
Did you get your static IP set up correctly ??

Try the preference folder again, you said you couldn't locate it...
You have to access the hidden folder, it's all in the links I gave you....

Unfortunatley Limewire doesn't give refunds...
