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.

Default LW Stopped Connecting

Hey Y'all - I installed LW a year or two ago and used it successfully occasionally for a period of time. A couple of months ago, I noticed that whenever I open it up, it never connects ...

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

I've been having the same problem. If you keep reinstalling it sometimes it will work, but not very often.

Default doesn't connect

My situation is similar. It worked fine for a year (with pro). then my mac started screwing up and I had to reinstall the system software. Since then, LW opens but won't connect.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem as everyone else. Is there any one that has gotten any response from Lime Wire? I have emailed them my problem but not response yet. I have had Lime Wire now for almost two years and it worked great up until I paid for Lime Wire PRO. Not sure what is going on but I just paid for it in Sept. and haven't been able to use it much since. Any suggestions? MaryMO

I think i've cracked it! I've been having the same connecton problems, so while browsing, i discovered that i was getting this "id 4226 error event". I'm absolutely crap with putors so i cant put a link in, but try putting " error id 4226 " into google and click on to "blog.davidkaspar.com/archives...". Skip 2 pages until you come to the event 4226 patcher bit on lvl lords website. download and execute the patcher.
I followed the simple instructions (changing the 10 half open connections to 50) and after rebooting EUREKA!
Hope this helps .

Sarah, I tried what you said , downloaded the link to lvl lords and it came up but it also flashed that I was going to download potentially dangerous info. So, I undid what I had done and got out of it. I sure don't need anything installed that could give me more trouble. Tell us....since you did this....can you open Lime Wire and connect? I just think there is something wrong with Lime Wire, if not, why are so many people having the same problem connecting when before there was no problems? I am very discouraged with this and if there is not going to be connections we should be told....right? Thanks. Marymo

Hi Marymo. You're right not to install any old thing, but after trying all sorts of solutions and identifiying this error message in my admin tools, it seemed to make sense so i thought what the heck and went along with it. Stupid perhaps and potentially risky, but it works a treat for me so far. If anything dodgy happens in the next 24 hours i'll post it.

I decided to close down limewire and see if it connected straight away. Guess what?
It didn't!
So i looked in toolsptions; firewall config, and i noticed that the listen on port number had changed, so i clicked to restore defaults, closed limewire, reopened to no avail.
Once again i checked out the listen on port and didn't recognise the number. So i clicked on restore defaults and the instant the tools window closed i connected! Curious, i looked to see the listen on port n° and it showed 6346... the same n° shown in grey for the manual port forward option. I have no idea whats going on but i seem to keep stumbling into solutions.
Perhaps this will make sense to someone.
Will try to close and reopen later to see what happens.

Default Update..

Just connected no problem. Looks though the 'patcher' combined with the 'listen on port' tweaking worked for me.
