Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. 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.

I'm surprised your ip doesn't show on LW when you select Direct Connect. If it's not there then it does suggest your firewall is not properly configured. And it should be if you wish to Direct Connect. Check your incoming in the bug test & see if it's true or false. If false then your LW is probably being partially blocked. Double-check the Sticky at the top of this section about Direct Connect about important points you should know. You can also use Magnet links to help connect to your friends & share files. Once they start downlding your magnet link you can browse them from the upld/monitor window & they can browse you from their downld window.

I got the impression he did not know how to select Direct Connect in the first place. It is slightly hidden away

Direct Connect search type is easier to find on the windows version LW. There's search type tabs. Whereas on mac it's a drop down menu.

Well ... we have to forgive those windows systems that try so hard to copy what the mac os does. They try ever so hard but always get it wrong. After all windows knew nothing about the icon system until they copied mac's ideas & were taken to court over it. Unfortunately M$ doesn't have many original ideas of their own! But they come out with something then brag about it in their adverts despite it never being their original idea. The only M$ original ideas are the bugs people continually get on their windows systems. lol DOH!

Grandpa, I imagine MacDonalds is the #No I restaurant in the world. I'm not personally convinced it is also the best<G>

Have a great week-end!

Personally I do not know that windows is the best never used the rest so I cannot say. But I do believe that it is a personal preference issue every article that I have ever read by people who appear to be Unibus point out good and bad attributes of all OS and to date I still haven't seen where one OS is better than the other. And yes MS does have security flaws as does all other OS and people talk about how many compared to other OS.
One comment to think about. If I were a hacker and I wanted information I would imagine that I would try to hack windows since most of the world business use windows and therefore my odds of getting information would be far greater. Why would I waste my time on hacking something that at best might yield some individuals personal information. Any OS CAN BE HACKED from what I understand it is no more difficult to hack one than the other but the rewards are far greater for one than the rest.

And a good weekend to you Hobo

and that Grandpa is why, as well as loving my Mac to bits, (as they say in all the day time chat shows), I feel a lot more safe using it than I would a PC Really should get some sleep ... this looks more like a yawn to me so

Just for the laugh of it, name me one single Mac OSX virus. There are none! But as you said every OS has it's good points & everybody has their preferences. I'm not detracting from people's preferences b/c it's a silly argument & many will never be swayed despite the problems they may incur. Beside this has nothing to do with the original poster's question. lol
