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.

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. |

 norton + limewire = 0 ok so ive been running limewire for a year or two now and ive had no problems on my other computers that have norton antivirus loaded on them, and ive had limewire on this computer without norton for a few weeks. i installed norton and all of a sudden limewire wont work. i dont mean that it wont connect to the net, it wont initiate or load or anything, i cant pull up the limewire main screen no matter what i try. the message limewire sends me says that i have a firewall blocking its connection to the net but i have windows firewall off and norton antivirus dosent include a firewall function, even so, i put gnutella under a safe port like the help pages say and its still not loading, ive re downloaded limewire once already with no change whatsoever... ive exhausted everything i know about so if anyone is having similar problems and fixed them i could use some help. thanks  |

| sparks... without being inconsiderate of your woes, could you tell me where that help page was..."i put gnutella under a safe port like the help pages say and its still not loading" (I want to learn how to better manually configure my firewall for LW) Also...I'm no expert on limewire, and this may be a stupid question, but you didn't have limewire minimized to the system tray when you installed Norton did you? Or in startup? Norton products can be very fickle when installing them, it may have caused the conflict and just a LW uninstall and reinstall may not have fixed it. Does Norton seem to work right? I may be overstepping my bounds here, but I know a little about Symantec products and their answer to everything is to uninstall and reinstall to increasing degrees, its insane! If you try to uninstall and reinstall NAV, (I'd uninstall LW first) Norton always recommends doing a "clean boot install" (and stopping all nonessential processes)--they don't tell you that in thier little booklets. Look at...Before Installing Norton Products ---and---No programs loading at startup (clean boot install) (I found a page before with all of that together, but I can't seem to find it now) Of course you gotta make sure all the Norton startup services are running before uninstalling, see here.... Enable Services at Windows Startup (just the top of page). (Or just make sure everything in NAV is enabled.) They also have "SymNRT.exe" which is supposed to remove all traces of Symantec products in the event of a failed uninstall or whatever. And...turn off firewall when reinstalling. BTW--it ain't no joke--you can buy SystemWorks and NAV bundled for ten bucks (after rebates) now and then. Its 'cause Norton kinda bites! (I realize I'm verbose, I apologize.)

| Oh yeah, almost forgot...Sparks can't do #8 on that list-- Lord of the Rings---he can't open LW. He could check his Java version in "Add/Remove Programs" though, that should show Java 2 Runtime Enviroment version and J2SE update version. Or in the "Control Panel">Classic View should be the Java icon. Of course you might've already know that Sparks. I guess I'm assuming he has Windows though. |
