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. |

| Just in case, check these 2 links http://www.dslreports.com/reviews/1596 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/cover,1596~days=365 How well is the ISP service running generally? Now back to LW, go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & change both connection & listening ports to one between 49152 - 65535. Try port 64049. Then close LW & re-open & see if there's any change. What model of Linksys do you have? It might be worth port forwarding. It seems port 6346 is blocked either by UPnP not working properly or by being blocked by the ISP. I know there's one range of Linksys models that don't work well /unreliable in UPnP mode, but all the other models are very good. Also why do you have a Linksys? Was it provided to you by your ISP? I notice others are using Speedstream. |

| Limewire no longger connecting Dear user Lord of the Rings or anyone else that is tech saavy: Below is a list of details about my system and I appreciate greatly any help offered. I have tried uninstalling the latest edition of AVG and reinstalling with no luck. Also I have tried listing LImewire as an exception to windows firewall and in my avg program with no luck. And I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling limewire with no luck. I did go into the limewire advanced options and change the listening port to 64049, and still no luck. I have read in a post to change the connecting port as well, but I'm not sure how to go about doing so. Also, in the Router Configuration section the UpnP that the program recommends is selected. So here are my system details.... 1. Windows Media center xp edition and I am the administrator. 2. Windows firewall and AVG firewall? 3. 1 GB ram? 4. 28.1 gb disk space available. 5. DSL connection. 6. 2Wire 2701HG-B router. 7. Connecting from home. 8. I have the latest version of the free version of LimeWire 4.18.8 and the latest version of Java 9. My ISP is AT&T? 10. The sample test said that my test worked. 11. I am not sharing thhis connection with anyone. 12. I am an experienced limewire user and I have tried everything to fix this. 13. Yes, there is a brick wall in front of the world icon 14. It is uPnP enabled. 15. I am using AVG antivirus 8.0. 16. I line in the U.S. on the West Coast. 17. The only change that has happened was limewire prompting me to update to the 4.18.8 version. The program itself prompted me to do so, that is the only change that has occured.  I will appreciate anyone's help in helping me fix this matter, thank you. |

| Welcome Darkangel2070. A few things to try. Not a good idea to use Two Firewalls as they will conflict with each other and may cause Less protection. Try disabling the Windows Firewall and give Limewire Full access through the AVG Firewall. Next thing to try is Forewarding a Port for your router. Most importantly is setting up a Static IP First. Instructions are in the Link Below. Hope this Helps. Port Forwarding for the 2 Wire 2701HG-B
