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.

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. |

 Thanx for reply Birdy...seems like you have been down this road b4 and had success helping others. I would be grateful if that was the case again. History: I am working on a PC with a T1 connection at my remote office. I utilize Cisco to connect to my server in corp but do not utilize this utility when accessing LW. I started by d/l'ng LW 4.12.4 and it worked right off the bat. Then about four days into it, the globe came up and would not connect when searching. I upgraded to version 6, then confirmed Gnutella ports using the customized number that was listed when walking through the process, confirmed access exception at Win Security Center - Firewall options. I am stuck...Maybe one of our jedi warrior administrators for the company (tech oriented co) messed it up and blocked it out all of a sudden? How do I check what other firewalls are blocking LW currently? I run PC / Windows XP Pro / LW4.12.6 / Cisco Pix 506 E Firewall VPN / Verizon T1 I think I now have port forwarding and UpNP enabled...neither seem to be working. Any clue? gotafix  |

| If you're connecting from work, you might find that the company has an anti-p2p policy & won't let you connect. Lots of employers do this just because they don't want employees sharing (often inadvertantly) sensitive files. You're really going to have to talk to admin & find out what the policy is. I'd also ask them if they've recently blocked anything. I'm a bit confused re your firewalls. You've got a Cisco firewall but you said that you don't utilise this utility when accessing LW... do you turn off the Cisco firewall before you open LW? You'll run into problems if you're using 2 software firewalls, they'll just interfere with each other. So, if you're going to run the Cisco firewall, turn the XP one off. Do you see any green connection bars at all? Did you do that port test? If the test doesn't work, it means that LW's default port is blocked. |

 U fly high Birdy! Thanks for the detail and continued support. I did speak with an administrator behind the green curtain and he said it is against our company security policy to allow p2p. In response to your port probing, there are no green bars lit up anymore (was for a few days). How do I check to see if my port is blocked again? I am going to walk through that scenario one more time and see if I luck out. thanX, gotafix |

 corprate or office router setups This is for people wondering about what type of port forwarding to use on office or corprate router, there are three types port fowarding port triggering, externel port forwarding, upnp forwarding. If your confused well the answere is to use Upnp port forwarding on this type of setup. Every router might have these named slightly diffrent and may have few more options but Upnp port forwarding works best, even when not using Upnp setups. good luck!!!! |

| OS - Windows xp LW & Java version - 4.12.6 & 1.5.0_06 Firewall you're using - How do you determine this? Modem/router brand & model - Toshiba Cable Modem ISP - ??? Connection type - Cable Where you connect from -Home Are you sharing a connection with other computers - NO Is this your first try with LW - NO I have had previous versions over the last 3years HELP ME PLEASE. I CAN CONNECT AND THEN NOTHING, THEN IT CONNECTS, THEN IT WILL SEARCH BUT WILL LITTLE RESULTS, THEN SEARCH SOMETHING ELSE AND GET NO RESULTS BECAUSE THE CONNECTION HAS FAILED THEN i GET FULL GREEN BARS(full connection) BUT STILL NO SEARCHING OR DOWNLOADING. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL START DOWNLOADING THEN 10 MINUTES LATER THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. WHEN I SHUT IT DOWN IT IS WORSE WHEN I RESTART. |
