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. |

 Limewire connection problems My system specs: Athlon xp 2600+ 1 gig ram 120gig HDD WinXP Home LimeWirePro 12.6 ZoneAlarm Pro Nettcomm NB3 Modem Router Internode 1500/256.(Dynamic IPaddress).

| I don't see anything wrong.  Go here & tell us what your ip is: http://www.whatismyip.com/ BTW what is Internode 1500/256.(Dynamic IPaddress)??? Is that your connection speed plan with your isp? I wonder if a static ip on a dynamic ip service is an issue. Did you check your router to see if it has UPnP or not? |

| Thanks for the great details btw. Perhaps I'm missing something that's windows specific. But it looks fine to me. NetComm supports UPnP btw. Try it instead of port forwarding. Rarely would I suggest this but it might be worth a go. Once enabled on your netcomm, save settings, then open LW & change setting in advanced to UPnP instead of port forwarding. Again, close & re-open LW. Oh I just read your post. It doesn't support UPnP? Are you sure? Check the options. Here for NB1 it is supported if go to Advanced tab http://www.portforward.com/english/r...1/Limewire.htm Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? |

| Another member also looked at your problem & settings & all seems to be fine. AFAIK no ISP in Australia blocks p2p. I presume you're not attempting to run another program through the same port? If yes then this would cause problems. You could try a different port to connect through. But this would require port forwarding again & doing another setting for your ZA firewall. Try port 64049 instead of 6346. |

| Try another Gnutella p2p program. Here's some suggestions: FrostWire or Phex to see if you have the same problems. FrostWire is almost identical to LW so no changes are needed in settings. |

| Thanks for all the help LotR, you'll be pleased to know I found the solution!!!  I thought about it after a good night sleep and slipped the NB3 into bridged mode... voilla! No brick wall! LimeWire working happily for ten minutes now in a Turbocharged state!  heres the link on how to do it for the Nettcom NB3. http://www.netcomm.com.au/tutorials/...ridge_Mode.wmv By the way I removed all expert rules in ZoneAlarm as well, just make sure you allow LimeWire access to the internet in the Program control tab or just click allow as stated in the LimeWire FAQ and so on.  I'd suggest everyone else having connection problems slip their routers into bridged mode. :wink:   After you do that, you'll need to set up a new connection, as well as your existing one, in you OS to authenticate your connection to your ISP. In Windows XP, go to the new connection wizard, click on the new connections wizard, connect to internet, set up connection manually, connect to an internet connection which requires a username and password, enter you ISP's name, enter your username and so on and your away. This allows your computer to provide all the info necessary for your internet connection work and basically makes your modem/router a slave device. any other problems you have with connections after that will be in your software firewall or your ISP/network your computer or LimeWire itself.  All the best and happy P2Ping |
