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.

Uh oh...not a good sign that we're both using the same ISP and having the same problem. There was a guy on the other thread named Ryleguy or something. Ryle is a school around here...wonder if he's an Insight customer as well...

Lord of the Rings...can you give me some idea of what questions to ask my ISP to figure out this problem. Are there any common issues with ISP's and Limewire that you know of?

I think the no. you gave me for the Linksys router is the serial no. & not the model no.

After LW has been open for about 30 mins do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is it True/False?

Instead of choosing an audio type search, try a general search. eg: artist name - title, or just artist name

Is that a dial up modem or cable or adsl/broadband?

That was the model number for the modem which is broadband. I have a 2.4 GHZ wireless broadband router model number: WRT54GS. I always type in the name of the artist and thats the problem. For example, if I go to audio and scroll down to "country" the same three songs show up everytime.

You don't think that by me hooking up Insight digital cable had anything to do with this do you. Anyway, im convinced it is insight since everyone in my house uses limewire and is having the same problem, and so is Aviator who uses insight. If you find anything from insight let me know

Default Insight IS Blocking P2P

I've got some bad news!
1. http://www.broadbandreports.com/shownews/56054

2. http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/archive/index.php/t-23954

3.Other results



OK you should forward a port in your router to allow port LW full access. However, to my understanding you can only port forward one port no. per computer. ie: the others would need to use a different port no. (eg: 6348, 6344...) or else they go without port forwarding.

1. You will need to set up a static ip for this to work. See Setting up Static IP on a Linksys & also see the link to a static ip in (point 2 below.)

2. I have 2 instructions for this. 1st try Port Forwarding for the Linksys WRT54G v1.1, v2 & CA but if you have any difficulty then see Linksys support instructions for port forwarding Use Port 6346 for the 1st (if only) computer.

3. You should also Force IP within LW: Force IP instructions & sample image

If you do port forward a different port for the other comp's then within LW you'll need to change the port setting to the same no.'s ! eg: Comp A be port forwarded (PW) with 6346 & LW left to default 6346, Comp B PW with 6348 & LW's Port & Firewall settings changed to port 6348, etc.

Insight user here. I have the same problem with no search results being displayed. It just started a few day ago.

Can we get around this?

As I suggested in the other thread. You are paying for a service but they are either blocking or filtering p2p. Tell them you want to use p2p & ask to speak to the person in charge. Often the person who answers the telephone is not a person who has the authority to change your status. You are aware of what's happening. In my country there's avenues for complaint if they should prove to be stubborn.

hi guys, i read this post and happen to have the same coincidence, i have the insightbb isp service and my p2p apps stopped working around 5 days ago and i notice thats the same date of Lord's post that says INSIGHT IS FILTERING P2P so its safe to say that insight ****ing sucks balls. i will be switching isp's shortly cuz i've been thinking for a few days now that it was my ISP ****ing with the settings and as the time goes on, im being more convinced that i was right

Yo Lord, I know you told us to call Insight, but can they do anything to just one user or if they do it to one they have to do it to all clients. Do you just want us to complain to them or can they do something to change only my home network and allow P2P sharing??

i've called insight and even did a live chat session... that isnt going to do ****... the ppl u talk too really have no damn clue about wtf they are talking about, i mean they will say we dont do this we dont do that and all this other **** but then pop a question like then who is mediacom eh or why is sandvine in touch with your service and then you will notice how dumb them stupid ****s really are and mediacom are the ppl actually doing the blocking of the ports thats why insightBB can say they are only blocking "4" ports but you know they know of the doing's by mediacom. i have another cable choice in town called ZOOMTOWN and my dad happens to have it so i went over to his house and d/led and tried all of the P2P programs onto his cpu that no longer work on mines w/ having Insightbb and it worked fine and i didnt have to mess w/ any option settings (as i feel unless you have a firewall or router) none of those tips really even need done as i feel they dont help at all. WHAT I AM GOING TO DO TO VOICE MY OPINION THE LOUDEST IS CALL THEM UP AND TELL THEM OF THEIR STUIPD **** THEN TELL THEM I WANT MY SERVICE CANCELLED AND I'M SWITCHING OVER TO ZOOMTOWN, THATS THE LOUDEST VOICE U COULD MAKE TO THE COMPANY FOR THEM TO GET THERE **** STRAIGHT AND DO IT FOR THE PPL WHO HAVE ONLY 1 CABLE INTERNET OPTION (INSIGHT) SO HOPEFULLY THOSE PPL DONT STAY ****ED FOREVER
