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. |

 OS Version: Windows XP 2005 Windows Firewall RAM: dont know exactly Hard disk space: not sure, new comp, desktop Connection type: Cable Modem and router name brands: don't know Trying to connect from home. Version of java and limewire: 4.12.6 (limewire) and 1.5.0_09 (java) ISP: WHTV (Whitehorse TV a/o Northern Television Systems Test: Internet says page cannot be displayed No, I'm not sharing with any other p2p sharing programs. I've used LW on someone else's comp but this is a brand new comp so i don't have much experience with it. I do see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon. I was able to download one song and there was no brick wall in front of the icon and I had 4 green bars. There is a brick wall there again for some reason and now I'm not connecting. I wish I can answer all of the questions and I like to think I'm somewhat knowledgeable with computers but some of this is kinda not my forte! |

| Someone else using WHTV recently had a problem too, but I don't think it was followed through. They may or may not be blocking p2p (check link below) http://www.woolsock.ca/geeklove/2006...have_some.html If your test page can't be displayed, something's blocking the default LW port. You could try changing ports to a higher one, say 64049. You'll have to change LW's listening port (tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Apply to save a change) & also any ports allowed within your software firewall. You'll need to find out your router's brand & model as it might be useful when trying to get rid of that firewall Have a look on the router & also underneath. |

| Whtv Well, it turns out I called WHTV as an "anonymous" caller and they told me that yes they do block p2p (u should let ppl know what p2p is - "peer 2 peer?" sharing). They say it is because of the bandwith used in p2p. So, that means they don't support it or block it. Now, I doubt there's anyway around it unless I switch ISPs. Ya think? That really sucks, I would've liked to know that before I got set up with them. |

| If they block p2p, then you might be a bit stuffed...I doubt changing ports would help. Check the thread below, you might find something to help but no guarantees! http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=32882 Switching ISP is the obvious fix but it depends on whether you signed a contract for a specified term...you might end up having to pay a fee to get out of the contract. If you do go looking for a new ISP, check their Acceptable Use Policy or Fair Access Policy (sometimes this info is found in general Terms & Conditions too). That will often tell you whether the ISP is anti p2p. Google the ISP & search for these policies, often the customer service people won't give you a straight answer or aren't aware that it's going on:wink: You could also add WHTV to this thread of providers who block/filter p2p...might help someone in the future. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=33712 |

 Up until 2 days ago I had no problem with connecting to limewire. Now, the dreaded firewall symbol is showing and I can't access it. Tried suggestions outlined in this forum but to no avail. Any more ideas? ISP provider is AAPT.  |

| Check the 1st page to know what information we need to be able to help you. AAPT is Aussie right? AFAIK no aussie isp's block or specifically shape p2p programs, but they will shape your overall bandwidth if you go past your maximum allowable download maximum. Generally down to about dial up or double dial up speed. |

You said it is a wireless connection you have. AFAIK All wireless devices have internal NAT firewalls. So either enable UPnP in the device if it supports UPnP & hoping that its UPnP implementation is reliable. Or else, forward a port on the device. You need to be more specific about the device brand & model. Do you connect thru AOL. Try to by-pass AOL if possible. Too many people have problems connecting p2p via AOL. I have discovered your ISP is specifically AIRIMBA from Texas. You were not sure at 1st. |
