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.

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. |

 This is rediculous Why can't this program just work? My windows firewall isn't even configured (as in that doesn't work either and is not on so ALL my ports are open), my norton anti virus has worm protection, it isn't really a firewall, and I added lw to my safe list. But just to be safe I disabled norton and LIMEWIRE STILL WON'T WORK. I've paid for the pro version and it was pretty much a waste of my money. I'm very disgusted with the whole thing. It was working fine and then one day just up and quit. I had changed nothing. It has yet to decide to work again. I don't know what kind of **** poor operation you people are running but I'm just about over it. Everything on my computer is set to allow limewire to work, I did the browser test and everything, but it just won't work. I've downloaded, deleted, redownloaded so many times I can't count them. I'm really sick of this. When you pay money you for a program you expect it to work. Is that too much to ask? What is so hard about this concept? I downloaded that patch to up my ports to fifty. Nothing. I've done everything in the book to no results and no satisfaction. What is the problem here?  |

| Ok, read the sticky at the top of this section. It's had some recent additions to it that might help you. If you want to run without any firewalls...good luck. No-one forced you to buy Pro, you could've got the basic version for free. If it was working fine, then one day just up & quit then there has to be a reason. Have you looked at your modem/router as being a possible cause of firewall problems?? |

| ...I did read the sticky. I tried all of it. My isp is not the cause because I "passed the test!" on that link thing. And I had the basic for free but it (like I said) quit working out of the blue. So I upgraded, figured it might fix it. But it didn't. |

| Just sayin, is all... Jupiterzguy- I'm not actually intending to be offensive here, but in your first post, you sound like a very spoiled whiny child. As previously stated, nobody forced you to buy Pro. But what should've been done, is just try basic for a couple of months, fixed it so it ran on your computer, THEN bought pro. Its kinda like buying an ice cream, when you are obviously lactose intolerant, you COULD eat it, but in the end its not healthy for you. Kinda. In the end, just contact a LimeWire rep, as you bought pro, you can get help in the support area. Email address --> Problem form --> a day or two later, you have your help. The whole process averages a week or two to complete, by then, you will be enjoying limewire's wonderful service as if nothing had ever happend!  |

| If I'm a whiny child, then you must be a stupid one because you're blabbing on about things you don't know jack about. I had basic on my comp for *months* before it went caput. So, how's that hold up to your couple weeks of theory?  And I did email the company, they can't do jack either. I wasn't trying to sound like a whiny child, but rather a disgruntled customer. But I suppose it can't be the program's fault, it must be mine as I'm nothing but a child. And as for the questions posed by birdy Mindows XP High Speed Wireless I'm not sure about my modem, how do I find out? Lime wire 4.10 and Java 1.3.1 My ISP is a statewide company called Wyoming.com (I live in WY) And the only thing that might pass for a firewall is my Norton Internet Worm protection, but LW is on my safe list on that program |

| Your Java could be a problem, I believe 4.10 needs Java 1.5. See here for updating your Java (use offline installer). Also, delete LW preferences folder (instructions in link) with LW closed. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420 After you've done this, just let LW sit & settle for 1/2 hour or so & see if it improves. For your modem model & brand, just look around at all your hardware & see what you can find. It could be important info so do your best |

| I think the java site is down cause it times out whenver I try to go there. I deleted the preferences though. But, I did it for the old version too and it had no affect. But I guess I'll see. Oh, is Nvidia a type of modem? |
