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.

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. |

Anything else I can check? I guess I dont understand why it says I have a firewall up when I do not. It is telling me that it is trying to connect so it is a connection issue. |

| Diveanx I would give Brighthouse a ring and ask if there shaping P2P traffic, ASK have they any additional firewall on there connection ? Some ISPs were OK but have recently started shaping, Please post what they say, It will help others. You said, you set port!!,Best to use No's 50000 to 65000 Both L/W ports should read the same number "Listen on Port "& "Manual Port Forward" must be the same & enabled, not upnp. Have you updated java to JRE 6 ? you didnt say, & it will be better for 64bit Peace.

| I could not find a JRE 6 on the Java site anywhere but I did read in the Java forums that 1.5 should work fine with 64bit so no I did not change it. As I stated in another post I made, this is a new computer and Limewire worked fine until I started using the new computer. It also works fine on my laptop with no problems. I will try the ports that you recommend and see if that helps any. I just had it set at the default port that it came with. If you can give me a link to download that JRE 6 I would appreicate it. |

| It seems I am having the same problems as other users. I had Limewire on my old computer, but on this new computer, it will NOT let me download anything. I am using the same router, ISP, and broadband modem. In addition, here is the requested information you asked for. 1. what OS version? (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista) Windows XP SP2 2. What firewalls you have ? Windows 3. How much ram ? 2 GB 4. Hard Disk space available ? 120 GB 5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ? Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers ? Motorola SB 5120 modem, D-Link DI604 Ethernet Broadband router 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.) ? [B******[/B] 8. What version,LimeWire & Java? 4.12.11 for Limewire and 1.5.0.11_11 for Java 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? Time Warner 10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? It said YOUR TEST WORKED in bold letters. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? This is my first time having problems 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? Yes 14. Have you given full permisions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall? My firewall never asked me to give permission to Limewire. Not on this computer, and not on my old computer. I dont think Windows Firewall asks for permission. That might be the problem since I have the brick wall in front of the blue globe. 15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? XP Firewall is ON. Please help me. Thanks! |

| erieview417, What happens when you try to download files? Are you properly connected (ie are all your connection bars green)? Make sure LW's allowed thru the XP firewall, check the link below for instructions. Firewall setup Your router has a firewall. Enable UPnP within the router & then use the UPnP option within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. See if the brick wall goes away. If not, try port forwarding. Here are the instructions for your router. Don't forget to set up a static IP address first! http://www.portforward.com/english/r...4/Limewire.htm Remember that LW's listening port, port in LW's 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router all have to be the same number  |
