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.

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. |

| It means the port is blocked for some reason ... either your firewalls, modem/router or your ISP. We need answers to certain questions such as these: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=61028 |

| 1. Windows XP 2. I had Zone Alarm, but after the problem I uninstalled it. Windows firewall, but when I try to open it to see if its on or not it says due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings. It might have been disabled by Zone Alarm and before when it worked I did the stuff to allow limewire and that didnt fix the problem. 3. 320 MB of RAM 4. 2.46 GB (Old shitty computer) 5. Broadband 6. Modem- NextNet Wireless RSU-2510, Router- Linksys WRT54G 7. Connecting from Home 8. LimeWire Pro 4.12.6 & Java 1.5.0_6 9. Evertek (Small ISP in Iowa) 10. I have an antenna on my house (im in the middle of nowwhere) the antenna goes to my modem in my attic, goes down my chimney to my basement connects to my router and that goes to my computer, my dads computer and to my xbox. 11. Ive had limwire for a while and it has worked great up until a few weeks ago where it hasn’t been able to connect… I used to just restart my computer and then it would work but now it wont connect no matter what I do… 12. Yes, there is a brickwall infront of the globe… My Dads computer is much much newer than mine and it has 394MB of RAM 130GB (also doesn’t work on this computer) No firewall on it Limewire and java are the same as the other computer. |

| eek! wrt54g, they are reknown for problems with their firmware & unreliability. Generally Linksys are very good but the 54 series afaik sucks (excuse the language!) I've heard of nextnet devices before but know little if anything about them. Almost all wireless devices have internal nat firewalls. The issue is usually to enable UPnP if the device supports it or else, forward a port in order for a port in need to be opened. Strange it worked before but not now. If the problem is not the device then it may be your isp who may be secretly filtering or blocking p2p programs. As far as software firewalls go, you should only have one active one. Either choose XP or ZA fw. But you will need to configure whichever one you choose. Firewall configuration instructions (click on link) & about zonealarm see this extra http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&threadid=3878 If still problems get back. I'm about to go offline so my answer is a little brief for the time being.  BTW you could also try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) And see if that makes any difference.  |

| I set the manual port forward at port 6346 and listen on port at 6346 and the I would try a proxy I tried like 10 and none of them worked LimeWire kept saying that there is no active internet connection. I looked in the other pages and it sayed nothing about the current version.....!??!?!? Why do ISP's do this!??!?!? It'd be nice if someone could help me with a step by step thing for the proxies or if they could tell me what I did wrong.... |

| AFAIK (I've never used proxies personally), you have to keep sifting thru proxies until you find one that works. Also keep in mind there's more than one type of proxy. eg: (i) http proxies, ___ (ii) A Successful http Proxy Solution, __ (iii) HTTP proxy blocks P2P, (iv) SecureX http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=55461&page=5 |
