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. |

 LimeWire ERROR!!! OK by now I am a pro with LimeWire on everything except what I need to know. I've been everywhere, called everyone, asked different questions and searched in different ways on Google n00b style for the answer but to no avail. I'm sure you guys have seen this one before... It used to work for me just so you all know.... 'LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire' I have: Windoze XP Home SP1 Linksys Router (using the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration utility) From HP AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 1.80 GHz 224 RAM 80 GB HDD SpySweeper Windows Firewall is off Optimum Online Trying to connect from Home when I go to http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ it says my test worked... I tried to go to eTomi Pro and FrostWire but they didn't work either... I set up my router to add extra ports for LiumeWire starting on port 1 to port 7000, but it didn't do anything. So yeah... Help Please!!!  |

 There are a lot of linksys routers. What model do you have? See this thread: Connection problems? Check here first! You may need to portforward your router. Instructions here: http://portforward.com/routers.htm Be sure to set up a static ip address first or it won't work: http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm

| Try setting your router to UPnP. See instructions here: http://www.panasonic.co.jp/pcc/produ...ys_wrt54g.html. Then set limewire to UPnP in Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config, tick the UPnP button, click apply. Make sure the listen on port is the one you allowed access through your firewall. Don't think the usb adapter WUSB54GC is affecting it.

| I don't see UPnP anywhere on the Administration Page or on my router for that matter... Windows firewall is off, but if it was on would be allowing UPnP aspects... [IMG]C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\CaptureWiz\LimeWire Forums\Administration[/IMG] Hopefully that picture displays, but if not I only see the following categories: Router Password SSHD Telnet Daemon Scripts Utilities -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only thing I see that has UPnP in it is the following on a page entitled UPnP... UPnP Port Forwardings: From (WAN) To (LAN) IP Address Proto Description 16808 6881 192.168.1.102 tcp BitTorrent 20306 6881 192.168.1.100 tcp BitTorrent 59509 6881 192.168.1.100 tcp BitTorrent 36553 1024 192.168.1.100 tcp BitTorrent 59220 1024 192.168.1.100 tcp BitTorrent 16464 1024 192.168.1.100 tcp BitTorrent 52282 1024 192.168.1.102 tcp BitTorrent 14790 6346 192.168.1.136 tcp LimeTCP1AC1BAEB77 14790 6346 192.168.1.136 udp LimeUDP1AC1BAEB77 If I click any of these things it will ask me if I want to delete them from the list. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then there is a section that says: Settings UPnP service X Enable Disable Clear port forwards at startup Enable X Disable Send presentation URL Enable X Disable |

| Yeah the picture doesn't display and I tried to line up the columns, but no luck. UPnP service is enabled Clear port forwards at startup is disabled Send presentation URL is disabled Also just so you know, that message: 'LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire' Appears at the startup screen and closes the process so I don't even get in. Thus, I cannot edit options in Limewire. |

Then d/load and install limewire using the offline installer: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml If still no joy, try deleting the LW preference folder, points 2 & 3 in this thread: Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should! Deleting the pref folder will reset the LW options back to the default, so make a note of any changes you've made. Let us know how you get on.
