Members 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. 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.

Bizarre! Some part of java just won't display the screen results.

Hmmm--try changing the theme: Go to View->Apply Themes and choose, say, the LimeWire Pro theme. Repeat the search and see if a new theme will allow results to show.

tried this before and just did it again - no change at all
again, any search carried out on Video and AUDIO do not even start (Limewire button does not start to turn nor does the search name appear in the header) while all other searches start - without finding any documents

I passed this problem as you suggested to the Limewire support - lets see if they can help me in anyway.

Thanks a lot for your help - it is very much appreciated.

Good luck. Do post back with what you find. A friend looked this over who knows java and told me he had never heard of a connected client not able to display results.

btw--someone downloaded the magbay link again, and I showed an uploader who is still firewalled (browse button greyed out).

Cheers.

will do so as suggested - by the way, how can I ensure that I am not firewalled?
I went into sharing and it says "Firewall off" (it shows a Start button which I understand woudl start the firewall).
Anywhere else I need to look?

Cheers and then goodbye for now - my family is calling...

The airport base station settings would probably have something to open and block ports, but I've never configured one. Port 6346 should be "forwarded" i.e., to allow messages from outside to pass through the station to your computer. They are probably being blocked. You could scroll through the LimeWire Preferences->Bug Reports->View Example to find the line that says "Received incoming this session: true" (yours will show "false" if incoming connections are blocked).

Well late here too. Cheers

here the full text found in the bug report:
as you mentioned, the "received incoming this session was false" - whatever this means - you mentioned it should be "true", hence would you know what I need to change?

Received incoming this session: false
means that other computers have not been able to connect to you on port 6346. You can call out (you are connected)--they can't call in.

The fix is to open the firewall (done) AND set up the Airport base station which routes all calls to the appropriate machine (it's like a second firewall).

I'd guess you need to Configure the AirPort Admin Utility (found in the Utilities folder, right?)

I have found the Apple Airport base station to be unstable under high load. See my comment at the following thread:

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=23445

Check if power cycling your airport makes a difference.
