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 upnp--*#$@^%@*!!!!!!!

I had a chat with a programmer on another forum,and sorted out the malware problem.

Then I did a clean install of Shareaza following instructions found here. When I setup the connection,I need to "enable UPNP connection devic setup" as I have a router. It worked fine the firsts time,but not when I started it again --it keeps unenabling UPNP ,unticking the box in the connection screen.Connection test then shows I'm behind a firewall.


I haves a static Ip set up and an exception for Shareaza on my Firewall.

If the checkbox is unchecked every time, this means your router is incompatible to UPnP...
...or maybe it is deactivated...

Have a look at the Shareaza Wiki on how to proceed: SourceForge.net: FAQ.FirewallsRouters - Shareaza Wiki

@Old death thank you, I'll do that.

The problem is relatively recent and I've made no changes.

Bingo! Connection is now fine. A person who is only semi-computer literate,working out what questions to ask can be the hardest part.

I made THE basic error; I ASSUMED simply putting Shareaza on the exceptions list would do it.

Thank you for taking the trouble.

May I ask which brand & model of router are you using? And any other connection equipment & location (at home, work, school, etc.) ?

I'm using a Netcomm 6 .The only other connected equipment is a Samsung laser printer and a WD external hard drive.

Yesterday I did a clean install of the latest version of Comodo Free version. and set it up according to the instructions you gave me. shareaza worked just fine until I closed it last night.

I will now activate Shareaza again:

(1) activated: OK

(2) connect:upnp has disenabled and will not enable.


Would it be a fair to assume there is an incombatibility between Comodo and my router?

BUT there is the same problem with the MS Firewall which I set up according to the instructions after I had removed Comodo.

Could it be a Shareaza 2.5.0.0 bug? I have a much earlier version on disc somewhere.

Comodo brings its own firewall, doesn't it? If yes, you can just disable the M$ firewall as it is useless and can cause problems when used together with other firewalls...

I use only Comodo's firewall. I enabled the inbuilt MS firewall AFTER I had uninstalled Comodo,before did a clean install of Comodo.

The free Comodo firewall comes with Agnitum antivirus,which I chose not to install,as I use Avast.

I should mention that this current problem is recent. I've been using Shareaza for a couple of years using this router. (took me half a day to set up the port forwarding initially)

Because the issue persists with both Comodo and MS firewalls it's beginning to look as if the problem is with Shareaza.

What do you think?

I don't think so. The problem you described is usually a problem with the config of your computer. The first step to solve it would be to disable both firewalls and check whether the problem persists (if you still don't pass the connection test). If it does, the problem comes certainly from your router.

Now, in order to get the problem finally solved, the following things need to be checked:
1) Does your computer have a static IP (this can be done via the properties of your LAN connection or via your router/modem (if supported))

2) I suppose you're using Comodo, as it's better than the Win Firewall. Have a look over here whether it is configured correctly.

3) The third thing to check is your router. Maybe there has been an internal reset etc. (...) ? To set it up correctly, check this: PortForward.com - Port Forwarding for Shareaza
Note that you should also check your routers security log. Some routers might identify Shareazas UDP traffic as an DDoS attac on the home network they are connected to In order to make sure this is not the case, check your routers security log after Shareaza has at least run 2 hours in Hub mode (= much connections). If the security log shows entries similar to "UDP flood" etc., you might want to correct the security settings...

Old
