Members 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. 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.

Don't go doing anything too drastic just yet!
Have you tried un-installing your java runtime engine and your copy of Limewire at the same time and then re-installing both from the start. It's best if you can install the Java RTE in the offline state which means downloading the larger 15 MB package from Sun microsystems and give that a go. Quite often people have had to re-install both at the same time to have success with their problem. I'm not sure why this works but it seems to work for a lot of people to install the java RTE manually and then Limewire also manually before they have success. Read as many of the "Stickies" at the top of the forums and hope there is an answer there that might help you. Perhaps some of the more experienced helpers may step in here and help you out, but either way. Let us know how you go.
Good Luck!

When you say that LW "will not work" - do you mean that

a) LW won't open
b) LW will open, but not connect to the network
c) LW will open & connect, but files won't download
d) some other problem

a) - http://www.gnutellaforums.com/331559-post2.html

b) - Try the fixes in the thread below. If nothing there helps, post back with your system details.
If LW Will Not Connect

c) - Try the advice here: Cant download at all - nothing happens when I click download (click on link)

d) - Please tell us what the problem is.

I own Limewire Pro. Ever since Limewire was discontinued it will not connect. Is there a way to fix the problem? I use Frostwire now. Is there any help for this problem? Limewire conecting?

Sure, look around the forum first before posting. You are an experienced forum member, you should know by now there are not only posts but also sections in the forum dealing with this issue. Connection Problems

I never have problems connecting with an old LW 4 version if I use the connection fix installer. I also check to make sure the program is not being firewalled either in the firewall or via the router. Depending on your type of router you might need to setup a TCP & UDP port forwarding rule for LimeWire. You can do the same for FrostWire but just be careful to use a separate port forwarding rule & different port number. Two programs cannot use the same port with port forwarding. Also two computers on same local home network cannot use the same port forward rule. Recommended to use a port number between 20000 and 60000. Also of course set the port forward option within LimeWire and add the port number in LW's connection settings.

You have a history of asking the exact same question, an example http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac/29...tml#post377543. Perhaps you can bookmark the post that best answers your question.
You also have a history of posting to very old threads.
