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.

Default Few Problems Since Installed Wireless, Please Help :)

Hi everyone, new to forums, not new to Limewire,

yeh my problem is this: (& its only been doing this since I installed wireless)

http://www.limewire.org/wiki/index.p...r_Cant_Connect

It takes about 20mins to connect to the network.

It gets stuck on "connecting..." sometimes when downloadin files. Athough I have managed to download loads of files, but now it gets loads and loads of "Awaiting Sources"

& another problem is the firewall icon in front of the world icon.

Oh & when I click on "Show Incoming Searches", I get the message (something like) "Leaf & Ultrapeer, Little or no results will display here" Well something like that, I cant remember it & It wont say it again now as I chose it to not display that message again.

& No-one can upload from me.


Ive spent most of the night reading through this forum & it looks really helpful But as im new its all over the place to me, and I dont know where everything is!
Ive read through the solution on
http://www.limewire.org/wiki/index.p...r_Cant_Connect
& it says to look into the firewall settings, but I looked around my Nortons settings and have no idea what to change.

If anyone has Nortons or knows about it please help me on this..

Also I know how annoying it is when someone new comes along and asks questions thats already been answered in a sticky or other posts loads of times, but all Im looking for is a bit of help, even if its just a link as im confused where to look on the forums.

Thanks very much

THis will help us System details - help us to help you (click on link)

Be aware that almost all wireless devices have internal NAT firewalls. So ... question is whether your wireless setup has reliable UPnP support, if not then port forwarding may be the best solution.

If you're using Norton Firewall, then make sure XP firewall is turned off. These 2 tend to clash & have side effects. Also for Norton, if you install a new version of LW then you may need to reconfigure Norton. Norton seems to have that odd problem. Here's 2 links you should look through (1) Configuring Norton Internet Security, & also (2) Reconfiguring Norton Firewall

In my experience on these forums, Belkin almost always needs to be port forwarded. See instructions here Port Forwarding for the Belkin F5D8630-4 (click on link). The 1st step is vital ... setting up a static ip.

When choosing a port for Firewall Configuration, it says to choose a port between 10000 and 60000, can this be absolutely any number between 10000 & 60000?

If not & it has to be a port number then where could I find a port number?!?

Cheers

Port 6346 should be fine. And do it for both TCP & UDP. Or a separate one for each of TCP & UDP is even better.

OH btw, if it works after port forwarding & you wanted to also use LW on the other computer, you'd need to do a separate port forwarding from the other computer & must use a different port to the one you used on the 1st computer.

Thx I just did the port forwarding for TCP & a seperate one for UDP.

Still a brick wall in front of the world =(

I'll restart my comp, see if this makes a difference.

Cheers.

I don't know about Belkin, but some devices require rebooting to get the PF into action.
