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.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7.

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. |

 Limewire Pro disables my cable modem Please help if anyone has an answer or suggestion! When I launch Limewire Pro (newest version or beta version) the program totally disables my cable modem. I have to completely reset the modem...unplug modem, turn off computer, etc. So of course, I get the "cannot connect" error message. I know it disables it because afterwards I try to access the Internet normally but it doesn't work until I do all the resetting. An older version of Limewire, I think it's 3.6 works so it has to be something in the new software. I figure since I paid for Pro, it should be working! I've had to uninstall the software. System info: Windows XP Mototorola Surfboard SB4200 cable modem Using Adelphia cable AMD 2100+ 1 gig memory 2 HD's (120 gig and 40 gig) Thanks in advance!   |

| limewire disconnects my internet I have a similar problem, though not as hard to fix. I'm using a PowerBook Mac OSX 10.3.3, i connect to the internet through an Airport base station wireless, connected to a Linksys router which is connected to a cable modem. I just upgraded Limewire about a week ago when i got this new computer. the problem just started yesterday. When i launch Limewire, i get "status: connecting" and "zero files shared/disconnected" on the screen. After a long time, i get a message saying i have no internet connection, and sure enough, my browser and email are not working. I go into the Internet Connect control panel and choose Airport. It says "loading Airport," and then, it shows a normal status indicator. And then, i am again able to surf the web and download mail. Everytime i launch Limewire this happens. otherwise, my internet connection is consistently robust. Sometimes when i get my connection back, after a long time, Limewire will connect to the internet and then works normally, but it takes a long time to start, if it starts at all. I would like to go back to the older version. I can't use this version. |

 I am now posting from a differnet computer because Limewire 3.8.10 somehow destroyed my ability to connect to the internet on the other computer and if anyone has any suggestioins as to how to fix it, i'd appreciate it. Here's what happened: I decided to test the Limewire problem using a dial up connection. I used a regular dial up modem direct to the phone connection, no router, no cable, no wireless. The modem connected. I was able to surf, etc. I then launched Limewire. The same problem repeated, same error message, "your computer does not seem to have an internet connection or else you have a firewall." and when i tried to surf or download mail, i could not. Since that point, i am no longer able to use the internet on that computer at all. My connections all look good, the indicators show that i have a sending signal when i try to access or send mail and when i try to launch a browser. In the TCP/IP control panel, it shows a good connection to a server (192 rather than 169). So the problem seems to be some corruption of my system software. I'll call Apple tomorrow and see what i have to do. Reinstall the system? What a mess. Re-booting the computer was of no help. In my case, it's not related to the cable modem because it also happens with the dial up modem. On the computer I'm using right now, i have an older Limewire, 3.6.15 Pro. It's working great. Unfortunately, this computer is totalled (an iBook). It fell off a table and now the lid just flops around and you can see inside the display. That's why i got the new computer. I just want to get it working again, uninstall that demon limewire, and possibly find a way to move this older version to my new computer. this sux. |

| yay! my powerbook is functioning again for email and web surfing. It might be because i removed the Limewire icon from the system tray at the bottom of the display (the dock). no way to know for sure. I also deleted the Limewire preferences. But i'm scared to launch limewire again. I'd like to get an installer for an older version. Otherwise, it's back to Kazaa on my windows machine. |

| Have a look here > http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...tall#post86122 It might be a slightly convoluted path to the answers that you need, but you'll learn other stuff on the way ! Remember that version numbers/links will differ, as well as specific commands, depending on what Operating System you are running. (Probably also a good idea to carry on your posts in the above-linked thread.)
