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. |

 I am by no means a computer wiz.. but I am having just about the same problem you are.. except that i have a strong internet connection I use DSL as my internet provider.. but for some reason lw says I am behind a firewall, but I have no firewalls.. But to answer your question... the first thing I would do is contact your internet provider, maybe they are having problems of their own not even related to lw.. good luck to ya, tigercubb  |

| MoRiNpHeN, tigercubb Sorry it took slong to get back I work in construction on the road right now long days. Any way Morinphen so you did all the sugestions man I am starting to pull what little hair I have out. Could you call your ISP an ask them if they have started blocking p2p networks. If they have'nt then click on the link below it will take you to WinMX it is another p2p software it isn't verry good but it is the only other free p2p software that I know of that isn't full of spyware I have found spyware in all the other free p2p software. If you can get on line with it then we will know that you are'nt being blocked by your ISP or a firewall. I am not recomending WinMX I use it occasinally when searching for rare files and for comparisons when testing p2p software. Let us know what happens. http://www.winmx.com/ Tigercubb I am thinking you router has a firewall in it did you try port forwarding.Try unpluging your router and resetting it. let us know what happens. Also call your ISP and see if they are blocking p2p networks Last edited by Grandpa1; August 1st, 2005 at 08:03 PM. |

| firewall probs Ok grandpa here goes... LOL I have verizon DSL I called them and they dont block p2p network.And I tried to restart my modem/router didnt work  . They did ask me a good question though, they asked if I did any windows updates, and I had.. He said that I may have downloaded a security update that may be causing the problem.. I wonder if anyone else did a windows update and are having the same problem??? I tried using Kazaa and am having the same problem saying I am behind a firewall.. So I dont know whats going on.. I am going to try to do a restore or backup to see if it may take care of the problem.. Wish me luck for I think I may need all the luck I can get.Thanks for all you support and quick responses. More of a reason for me to get Limewire up and running again. Great service! Thanks again, take care, tigercubb |

| Your problem might not be your isp but from my research it doesn't look healthy. It might be worth doing the test in link 7 about packet loss, etc. Ok here's a long list of links (sorry i haven't filtered thru them all) which will give some insight into problems with Rogers isp. The 1st links refer to recent problems they have. 1. First, 2. Port 25, 3. Third, 4. Throttling DC++ p2p, 5. Five, 6. Six, 7. Tests for packet loss, etc., 8. Filtering of Shareaza, 9. Aquisition p2p problems, Link Ten, 11. Rogers Cable Throws Down 60 GB Gauntlet, 12. Rogers Communications Cracks Down, 13. Rogers EUA Management Team Notice, 14. MPAA Warning Emails ... BTW does Rogers offer any backup of service such as dial up. If so & you have a dial up modem it would be curious to see if you could connect with LW.
