If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

3- I have no virus program to block Limewire
4- my system is mac os 9.2.2 on imac. i can use Limewire 4.0.1
5- 312 MB rem, 40 CB HD
6- adsl connection

ie: System details - help us to help you (click on link)

BTW the message saying you're being protected by a UP is simply saying you're connected as a leaf as are 80+% of other users. Ultrapeers help you to connect to the network, & also filter out unnecessary traffic from you. So don't be alarmed by that message when trying to see incoming messages.

The searches you'll see on the monitor page don't relate to your own searches...what you see there are other peoples searches. Your ultrapeers only send you requests that might fit your shared files...you're shielded from all the other irrelevant requests. That's why you see few results in the monitor window:wink:

If you get no results when searching, check the thread below for advice
Blank results page

Yes but did you make sure that your maximum searches weren't set at zero? Did you try to download a magnetmix file? Was it successful?
Did you do a search within LW for a very common group...what happened?
You aren't telling us who your ISP is, are you?
Did you delete your LW preferences folder?
Did you try using another p2p app & if so, did the same thing happen?

Don't sit there & bang your head at me after I've given you a link with lots of things to try & you don't even have the courtesy to tell me what you tried & what the outcome was

Are you connected properly (how many green conection bars do you see)?

ok , you are right, i am telling each by each. because i search the net also couldnt find any result about this topic. So this will be an archive too.

1- maximum search is 8 righ now. not zero

****2- having problem with magnetmix.. it says "magnetmix is not registered protochol" .. i click the link "Problems downloading?" it says if i have this problem i need to download Limeware.. but i already download it. (Mozzilla 1.3.1) and turn my face to download page again..

*i tried it with internet Explorer mac os classic version again.. the same problem appear.
*Now with "opera" different browser.. no way the same.. i have limeware. but magnetmix is not working..

3- i am using ISP : Turk Telekom (adsl)
4- i search with LW images also. no result. no mp3 either. (examples: Sting, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Madonna .. no result of them)
5- i use igetter without any problem. interarchy also. Napster working good at the past but i have only LW right now. )
6- this HD is very new, i change my new hd, with new system. imposible to have a virus. There is no program on it right now. only my system runing.

Look at the bottom left of LW's page...how many green connection bars do you see (not internet connection but connection to LW's network)?

Try deleting LW's preferences folder. Check LOTR's post below for the location in OS 9.2.2 (sorry, didn't realise you were a Mac user til I saw you'd edited your first post)
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...77&postcount=2

Since the magnetmix files weren't downloading, it could be a problem with your ISP. Those files usually download very quickly. The only other reference I can find on the forum to Turk Telecom is that original thread I linked you to. Google also isn't much help, I can't find any info to really suggest that they're anti-p2p...you've used other p2p without a problem so I wouldn't think it's that

Do you see the LW firewall icon (nothing to do with whether you have a software firewall!!) - a brick wall in front of the blue globe at the bottom of LW's interface?

Are you connecting through a modem/router? Also, where do you connect from (house, apartment, school, student accommodation etc)?
