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. 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.

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 New Firewall

Hi WW

So you have mysteriously gained a new firewall.

I'll take a wild guess and say that (maybe) your new ISP has provided you with a firewall, I know that some ISPs automatically virus check your emails for you so maybe they have graduated to providing you with a firewall as part of their installation package.

If you have got a new firewall it should show up in your system tray or, at the very least, in your Add/Remove list.

Hope this helps.



UK Bob

Hi UK Bob,
The thing is its the same ISP, I have just moved to an ADSL area and where I lived before was a cable area, so do you think they might have the firewall in the installation cd???
Thanks for your time mate

May I ask which isp?

Chances are your modem/router settings have gone back to default. See if you can enable UPnP again. Check this section 1/4 way down this page Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

What happens when you send your browser here? http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

BTW what brand & model of modem/router set up devices do you have?

Edit: Ah so you're now using ADSL instead of cable?!?! Check your LW settings also. Keep in mind you'll probably have a different ip no. so ... that may make a difference with your firewall!

Try typing http://192.168.254.254 into your browser. Are you able to log into your device?

I'd try to call telecom to ask their opinion. I know they won't help with 3rd party programs, but you could try to mask it.

Have you tried deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

Hi LOTR. I tried typing that into my browser and this is what it said
Sorry, no information is available for the URL 192.168.254.254

What does that mean?

Hi wondering why

Your modem has a NAT firewall in it go to the link below and follow the instructions. The link will take you to the port forwarding page for setting up your modem for LimeWire.

Telstra is not known to shape p2p or block p2p ports.

As Grandpa suggested, manual port forwarding is much more reliable than UPnP. I don't know why this should make such a difference after changing to adsl but ... (perhaps cable offered a more consistent & insulated environment) ... at least that's a safe direction to head. Any advice if you're not sure about port forwarding just ask. It will mean you'll initially need to set up a static ip. If you don't then the port forwarding won't work after you reconnect.

Sorry WW perhaps I got the ip address wrong. It's apparently 10.0.0.138

Hi LOTR, thats the IP I put in 10.0.0.1, does that mean that when I disconnect it will go back to having a firewall...When I followed the directions all the boxes were blank so I added the subnet, the default gate and the DNS manually and I put 10.0.0.1 in the IP box, have I stuffed it up lol...

No that sounds find to me. That seems to be the way the instructions put it. So if it doesn't work next time you connect, review the instructions again. Once it's right you can forget all about it.
