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 Aaaaaaahaha

You guys kill me - especially unregistered with a little light on his head. Anyways, heres my theory as I have residing as a text file in my shared directories (which you all should do after reading this)



HOW TO GET GNUTELLA TO WORK EVEN IF YOUR ISP HAS BLOCKED PORT 6346

I thought up this little doozy while taking a ****, which is where I usually have all my ideas (Hmmmm....). It sort of relates to the concept of port mapping and the forced IP features you'd need to use in order to get gnutella to work off a proxy.

I'm assuming that you're on high-speed dsl or cable or something, and that your ISP or admin has blocked port 6346 so you can't get on the network. If you're using a dial-up the answer is really simple - go get netzero or something. The steps below are kind of specific to an office type environment, but if you on cable/dsl at home and being restricted you can do the same thing as long as you have another computer hooked up to the LAN and a phone line.

The slightly sad part of this little trick is that somehow, someway, you need to find one other computer on your LAN capable of dialing up an internet connection. The good part about that is that it needs to be only 1 computer dialing any free internet service or whatever doesn't have port 6346 blocked, and that it can be anywhere on your lan as long as you're able to connect to it via your computer on the LAN.

Step 1:

The trick is relatively simple - you're going to use the dial-up computer to be your gnutella host for searches and stuff. You basically dial-up to your free isp, use some kind of keeplive or whatever you want to stay on longer, and run gnutella on it. You can also use the gnutella reflector at clip2 or whatever that website is, if you plan on sharing this trick with more people on your lan and want to keep the network noise down to avoid the admin noticing.

Step 2:

Once a gnutella client or the reflector is running off the dial-up computer, go on over to yours and run up your own client. When it pops up set the incoming connections to disabled and the max connections to 1 just to keep it clean, then in the 'connect to' host field or whatever, enter the IP address of the other computer running gnutella on dial-up. Once you've connected to it you should be able to use the search feature and benefit from all the connections its made.

Step 3:

Once you can search all you need to do is get those direct connections going - ooops, only problem is that port 6346 is blocked - which is why you're reading this. In order to fix that its very very very simple really - go into the 'force ip' section and enter the IP address of the dsl/cable/high speed computer that you're on, and some random port thats not being blocked. Then set the option where it says something like, "port to listen for other hosts on" or just the 'listen port' for you, set it to that port. Whats its doing is telling the gnutella network, "ok even though I'm clearly browsing from that dial-up address, I want you to direct connect to me for transfers to my dsl line at this odd port"

NOTE FOR BROADBANDERS WITH ONLY 1 COMPUTER

I would suggest maybe signing on to a free account like juno, netzero, or bluelight, getting your searches done (set max searches to like 10 so you can get more done in 1 shot)... then disconnecting, signing on to cable/dsl again, and THEN, with your searches still up, use the force ip and 'listen on port' options to route your downloads outside of the port your isp has blocked. This part is just a theory so let me know if it works.

SUMMARY

In a nutshell you're browsing with the unblocked SLOW dial-up, but when its time for the downloads and uploads everyone will come knocking on your dsl line's door...Great part is that they're knocking with a port your ISP hasn't blocked. If this is confusing try it, laugh at your admin or your isp, then figure it out later.

ENJOY!!!!!!!




------ALSO!! If you benefitted from this tutorial please please remember that great things like this can only happen if people try to put back into the community. All it takes is 1 person to think up a sweet new trick or tutorial and upload it to a good website and the whole WORLD gets to benefit from it. All I did was take 30 minutes of my time to share what I've learned and all the poor people who couldn't get this to work before can now enjoy it.. So if you have a trick you can do to some program, or you figured out something that you think others will have a hard time with, open your notepad, type it up, and upload it to a related website or someone you trust to distribute it. You will feel really really good I promise you Also feel free to take this paragraph and add it in to your own tutorial, thereby spreading this message of good-will.

------One final note - A good friend of mine writes alternative music and has his own website where you can download his music, see band pictures, and see upcoming gig dates. If you're into this kind of music head on down to http://www.mikeperalta.com and listen to the stories he has to tell. Its pretty cool.


Ok I'm out - Peace!

Default Hmmmm

I thought of that before, but if I'm correct, would that divide the network? Its my understanding that all connected hosts need to have the same port....so random ports would only seperate us. What are all your thoughts?

PS keep bumping this thread yahoo

Wonderful typing, please keep up the good work, but you are not correct.

Points are:

1. If you are connected to ANY other clients/hosts then your ISP isn't blocking you.
2. If you can web browse, your ISP isn't blocking you, Gnutella will work fine.
3. Everyone has a problem geting kick started on the network, gnutellahosts 6346 is too busy, your client reads old IP's first, who knows, but most times if you wait a while it will find a few recent IP's and away you go. You may want to clear your hosts list file and start from scratch, also try the limewire 6346 host list service.
4. ISP's could throttle you, then you would never know and they don't have to hear the complaints. These guys are not stupid.
5. Firewalls do not block Gnutella, see #2 above and read up on push. Push is not needed for you to download files from other clients!
6. Some idiots change to port 80 or 8080 and/or open those ports in their firewall because they have no clue.
7. This is not rocket science.

Port 6436 is for incoming connections, it is where you listen, you can set any port because you tell others that you are on that port so they can find the files you are sharing. You don't need a "public" incoming listen port to operate on the network!

Let me say this again, you don't need this listen port to download, search, or upload!

Once you connect via a "outgoing" connection YOU CREATED AND OPENED to any other host, you are able to receive and send packets, search, request push, whatever. If you download direct, you create a connection to the host server directly! It is on lower ports like 2000 or 1000 range, just like any browser does, so...

IF YOU WERE BLOCKED YOU COULDN'T BROWSE!!!!!

Changng your client to port 80 or 8080 is STUPID because those ports are for web SERVERS! Then you really tell your ISP you have a sever running (if they even bother scanning all the computers hooked up to the network). Hackers are scanning for these ports, don't think it's your ISP, they have better things to do like download DIVX porn via their T3.

ISP's would look for high bandwidth use on a every day basis, if they bother at all. On a 56K line, who cares?

So stop thinking it's your ISP and see if the girl next door is hooked into your phone line and if she is, make a DIVX movie of her naked in the shower and SHARE IT (just kidding).

Let's go over this again. If you CREATE a connection firewalls assume you want to do that and allow the connection because YOU CREATED IT. You could close everything via a firewall and still browse if it allows "outgoing" connections. Gnutella would work just fine! You could still be hacked if you had a program that CREATED a connection to Mr. Hacker, so don't feel so safe and get a better OS and quit using MS "we never fix security holes because we are too busy taking your hard earned $$" products like Outlook.

If you can web browse Gnutella WILL WORK!

Port 80 or 8080 are SERVER PORTS! Servers LISTEN on them for HTTP requests. Your browser DOESN'T USE PORT 80 ! YOU ARN'T RUNNING A WEB SERVER!

Please feel free to post this any time someone asks about this.
