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. |

 Fw isnt finding any where near the # of files lw did an hour ago. I uninstalled lw and installed fw and put on the exact settings that were in lw, i tried searches i did in limewire to compare and some are alittle normal but others are barely anything if anything. Heres my specs: I connect from home using windows vista home premium 32 bit and windows firewall. I have a cable internet connection. 4 GB ddr2 dual channel ram, my hard drive has 382 GB left. FrostWire 4.17.0 & Java 1.6.0_10 This is my first time running frostwire however i have been using limewire for a while now. I have tried this with my firewall on and off (both times the firewall indicator is on however i know there is no other firewall installed on the computer so thats not the problem. anyways thank you for reading this long post, I really hope you can help or its back to lw i go.  |

 You would need to add FrostWire to the firewall rules to allow it full permission. Sometimes, searches are hampered by the ultrapeers you are connected through, so disconnecting, reconnecting 10 mins later might get better results. Just a thought. One pointer is LW mostly only connects to other LW users, whereas the other gnutella programs connect to many more of the less common ones. I am not sure about FW as I haven't used it in a while. The firewall icon .. if it was always on when you used LW, then looks mostly like your router/modem at fault.  It probably does not utilise UPnP very well, some brands do not have a good UPnP implementation. UPnP is where the program sends a request to the router to open port(s) for it whilst the program is open. When UPnP doesn't work properly, port forwarding the router is way to go.Not having the firewall icon makes a big difference on performance, although some people say it doesn't bother them. lol  OH .. just a late thought, if you haven't rebooted the computer (or router) since uninstalling LW & installing FW, then the router might be reserving the port for LW ... again probably a upnp issue. |

 thanks 4 the help, but I did this but am still having problems Quote:
1. I checked the firewall exceptions to add Frostwire but it was already checked as an exception, is that anything else in the firewall console i should be doing? 2. This one helped alittlebit I use this strategy and have better searches but I'm almost positive something is still wrong. 3. I'm not sure why, but this is no longer occuring. 4. Having the firewall icon visable decreases performance? that seems strange but anyway I disabled it. 5. I have now rebooted and i still have a really bad problem... I hope some tech dude can help me out. even so thank you for your information. |

| My guess is the firewall icon is due to your router .. probably UPnP is not functioning properly. What brand & model is it? |

Unless you have more than one firewall active on your computer, it's almost definitely your router at fault. You will need to portforward it to bypass faulty UPnP. Look here: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall for guides on how to do that, and if you still can't seem to get it right, then post what's wrong, what you tried etc. |
