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. |

 XP SP2, No Firewall, Linksys Wireless, Connection Drops!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Troubleshooting Hour: 43.2 So does anyone actually support this software? Here is the problem I am having. It seems to be a rampant issue for people, and there doesn't seem to be an answer anywhere... I'm using XP SP2. THE FIREWALL IS DISABLED. Everyone's firewall is disabled. The firewall is not the issue. If the firewall were the issue, the instructions on the limewire.com website on how to enable the port are outdated for SP2. It's absurd that no one has fixed that. Once again, though... let's be clear... THE FIREWALL IS OFF. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Are you, or are you not, the black angel of death? I either get an error message saying I'm not connected to the Internet, but my browser and email software connect just fine, or I get a connection that stays on for about 10 minutes and then drops off. From what I've seen in all the forums, this is what a huge number of people seem to be experiencing. TimeWarner swears that there is no conspiracy; there is no filtering, there is no blocking. The tech people swear that their setups work and their friends setups work and that there is no rolling testing across trial nodes of any anti-p2p conspiratorial nonsense. The problem is not my ISP. I'm using an older Linksys wireless router. My intution is that this router is the source of the problem. I have tried port forwarding. It does not seem to help, but the instructions I had were mediocre. Is there someone out there who, with immediate clarity of recognition, understands what the problem is? For the love of... there's thousands of posts all over the web with this same issue and everyone says "turn off your firewall" and everyone comes back with, "that didn't help"... and that's the end of the thread. WTF?!?!?!?! I'm dead, and this is hell. The roof crashed in or something when I was sleeping and I've died... and I didn't confess my sins before I took communion or some stupid technicality, and I've been sent to computer troubleshooting hell for all of eternity. 10 minutes, connection drops, universal problem... That has to be specific enough to where someone can see immediately what the problem is...  |

| Update When I switched from a Wireless Router to a Wireless Access Point, the software worked great, until I rebooted. Now I've got the same problem as before. What a ripoff! Call your CC company and charge back any payment you've made. They don't respond to email. |

| doesn't solve problem You go to control panel and select services and then "stop" the wireless net zero service. Only it doesn't solve the problem. IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON?!!! WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT SEND LIMEWIRE ANY MONEY! THEY WON'T RESPOND TO SUPPORT EMAIL AND THERE IS ZERO SUPPORT FOR THIS PRODUCT! I'm in Austin on RoadRunner if anyone else having the same problem is from the same area with the same ISP, please post a reply to this post so we can get a tally... maybe TimeWarner really is blocking the transfers... |
