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.

The tick is just a check mark to show your connections. If you've already tried finding different hosts and that didn't work then sounds like you have other issues.

You say you have A (single) Blue Bar? Then are you seeing a wall in front of the globe? If so, then you are firewalled. Probably need a little more info to solve the prob. See below.

Supply these details please...

Is the only solution to uninstall and re-buy it?
Go to Tools > Options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply...

Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...
The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire

If they don't make a difference could you supply the details Remoc asked for...

Okay I'm having this same problem and I've been using Limewire for years w/o much issue. Here's the following info and then I'll try and provide further detail on the issue I'm experiencing

1. OS version? XP Pro 64bit
2. What firewalls you have? Just Windows Firewall
3. How much ram?3gigs
4. Hard Disk space available? ~200gigs on the C drive
5. Connection type? cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? couldn't tell you I just moved into a new place and neither of the house mates who were here know the user name or pwd to the router
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.18.4, Java 1.6.0_02
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast I believe
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? I receive the your test worked message
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. there are two other computers on this router I assume(one for each of the other housemates)
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. new problem with experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes but I've made sure Limewire is in the allowed applications list and what not.
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1158099342
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I hope so, I can't log in to find out.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise
16. What country are you living in? USA


Alright, the issue is that I launch limewire, I get fully connected to the network, do a search for a song and receive multiple hits. I pick one, any one(yes even the one with low user counts) it pops up on the downloading list below the search window. From now on the file remains on Connecting and the connecting tried x out of y message and eventually displays "Need more sources". I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling I've added the hostile host list to the Limewire folder in Application Data, I've used the connection tab to remove users and try to grab new ones. I've done this and still can;t get any file to download, I believe I originally even tried to get some small .doc to download once I noticed the issue and still nothing.

Aside from the router having UPnP disabled or something, which I hope it isn't, I can't fix it.

Remoc, I'm so sorry to sound so incredibly stupid, but I can't figure out how to get that hostile list. You have been really nice to try and help me. Any more help you could give would be most wonderful!
