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.

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.

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. |

I don't understand why the firewall wall is displayed when I have turned it off in my windows settings.? could this be the problem. When I bought limewire I just downloaded it to my computor so I have not got a disc to reload it. I would purchase it again but I am afraid it would just end up with the same problem . Any ideas ? is there a wizzard fix you can download for limewire? HELP!! please DO YOU NEED ANYMORE INFO ? THANK YOU GLEN BROOK UK |

| AOL might be part of the problem, have a look at these links. ::. Kitz - ISP Caps, FUPs and Throttling .:: Why is AOL Broadband prioritising non peer-to-peer traffic at peak times? - AOL Help AOL killed your P2P yet? - Broadband Internet - Digital Spy Forums Try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 65000 > apply > ok. Or you can try any port numbers in the range of 49152 - 65535. Your router might have it's own firewall. What's the model of your Netgear (eg DG834G, WGR614 etc)? Check the router's manual to see whether it has UPnP support. If it does, enable UPnP within the router (the manual should tell you how) & then in LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Check the button to use UPnP > apply > ok. If that doesn't help, let me know the router model & I can give you a link to instructions for port forwarding  Don't run without a firewall - you can leave the Win firewall on, just double check that LW's being allowed access. The link below has more info about configuring firewalls. User Cant Connect - LimeWire Definitely don't buy Pro again if you're having problems  There's not much difference between Pro & basic anyway. |

| One of the problems with AOL is you never know which ISP's services it's really running through. AOL rent lines via other ISP's, so those ISP's rules apply with p2p use. Those ISP's may be shaping p2p sharing bandwidth use. |

| Yep, this is a new problem. As of last night. It shows a firewall. But windows xp shows it is allowing limewire access. One time I open limewire and the firewall is there and blocking everything. Then it wasn't there and everything worked fine.....now....it's back and nothing is working once again. Not sure if maybe you're experiencing wide range problems or if windows and AOL are having hissy fits. Once again. |

| erm .. to me it sounds like you 'might' be downloading fakes or something. One way that might check this. Download a magnet link from here: + MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content See what type of speeds you get. If they are fast then the problem is nothing to do with set up or ISP, but probably the files you are choosing to download. You say you still see a brick wall in front of blue globe at bottom of LW, then that might be an issue. It sounds like a firewall (software), else Router issue. Netgear generally have reliable UPnP support, however, there is the odd model that does not use it well. In that case, port forwarding is best. Whilst 'some' people might be able to download ok whilst seeing a brick wall, from personal experience, when uploading well, my downloads & searches improve dramatically. That's from my personal experience in past and present using different routers also. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; September 29th, 2008 at 09:09 AM. |
