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. |

| Make sure that the XP firewall's off & that the Trend Micro firewall's configured to allow LW (click below). PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall Update your Java to this version. Download the offline installer & remove any other Java versions before you install this one. Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 If the page can't be displayed, it's not a good sign...something may be blocking LW's default port - possibly your ISP. Do you know anyone who uses the same ISP & can use p2p without a problem? Try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 (or try others in the range of 49152-65535) > Apply > ok. There's a firewall within your modem, try port forwarding. The instructions are here. Port Forwarding for the Motorola SBG 900 Don't forget to set up a static IP address first (there's info about that in those instructions). LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the modem should all be the same number. |

| Limewire Pro seems to be a scam! I can't get more than one green bar either. I have emailed support several times and I just get an email from Zenzele saying I did not provider enough information, even though I explained in detail the issue of only having one green bar. I think regardless of how much information one provides it will not be enough. I also have followed the instructions regarding redownloading java, deleting old versions of Limewire, etc... I love the refund policy which is we don't give refunds... The consensus I am getting is that there are hundreds of thousands of people that can't access Limewire because they only have one green bar. Yet most have probably paid for the Limewire Pro. $24.95 times several hundred thousand people equals several million dollars for the owners... I have contacted my credit card company to get my money back. Sincerely. A former Limewire Fan. |

| Hi podo, In LW file > disconnect. Wait 5 minutes, then file > connect. Try uninstalling LW (start > all progs > LimeWire & use the uninstall option). Once it's uninstalled, use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. Delete what you find. Restart your computer, do the search for limewire files & folders & delete anything that you find. Now reinstall LW. I'll send you a link to download an older version of LW, just in case an older version might connect...you never know! Can you try using another p2p app/apps & see if you can connect using a different app? Try FrostWire (much the same as LW) FrostWire.com » Official Website & Free Download « BearShare (the version Aaron mentions in this thread) BearShare has been sabotaged. or Phex Get Phex - PhexWiki The fact remains that your port 6346 test didn't work & that often points to problems with an ISP (regardless of what they say).
