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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. |

| Both you & the other person need to be properly configured in regards to firewalls or else direct connect won't work. Also, you both need to have available both upload & downld slots & bandwidth at that time. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If false, then it shows you're firewalled. This is usually also reflected by a brick wall in front of a globe icon at the bottom of LW. Make sure your software firewall is configured to allow LW full access. Also make sure UPnP (universal plug & play) is enabled on your modem/router. If your device does not have this ability then most likely manual port forwarding is required (this does not apply to dial up users.) Instructions for all of these are here: Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link) More on direct connecting here How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect. BTW magnet links is a good way to send files to a friend. Once they start downlding such a file, you can both browse each other. Browse works best if Chat is enabled (Tools>Options>Chat) |

| No, direct connecting is very sensitive to firewalls. If it detects a firewall that's not properly configured then it won't work. (BTW normal connecting & downlding can get passed unconfigured firewalls but direct connecting is different!) If you select Direct Connect type search, your ip number should be listed above the search box. If it's not, that's a sure sign you have firewall problems. |

| No, that message is saying you "are" behind a firewall & thus, you won't be able to direct connect. Here's what it should look like: Direct Connect search selection with ip showing (click on link). The only way around this is to follow the firewall configuration instructions I gave earlier. Unfortunately, due to the upgrading of the forum software the person's example image below mine in the link where their ip also wasn't showing is corrupted so you can't see what their problem was. But it's the same as you. BTW I use Photoshop & ImageReady & generally reduce the size of the image before posting (keeping width below 630 pixels.) I post gifs since reducing colours also helps reduce file size. |

| 1. Does LW show the brick wall in front of the globe? 2. Do the bug report test I gave earlier. Is yours true or false? If false, then you have a firewall issue. If the problem is not your computer software firewall, then it will probably be your modem or router. Most high speed modems have NAT firewalls. UPnP can open incoming ports for LW. However if your device does not have UPnP ability, then you'd need to manually open the port using port forwarding. Port forwarding requires a static ip (without a static ip, manual port forwarding won't work!) BTW what firewall do you have on your computer & which operating system are you using? What modem & or router are you using (what's its brand name & model version)? |

| LW do show the brick wall in front of the globe. and the test gave a false result. and i do not know what firewall is used since i have a wireless connection from some company that uses firewall and i have a connection of 56kb/s and this company opened for me this port: 6346.
