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. |

 connection problems-please help!!! I have run limewire once, and i haven't been able to connect since. I get a message saying that I may not have an active internet connection, which I do, or that I am behind a firewall, which isn't on. I don't understand why I still can't connect. I have tried to follow the directions of the LW site in regards to connection problems: [[To open the OS X Firewall for Gnutella access, please do the following: Open up 'System Preferences' In 'Internet & Network', open 'Sharing'. Select the 'Firewall' tab (your Firewall should be on) Select 'New...' From the 'Port Name' drop down box, select 'Gnutella/LimeWire' Select 'OK' Restart your LimeWire application.]] However, when i go to port name, Gnutella/Limewire is not listed in the drop down box. I also read through some of these discussions and found that I might need a java update. However, even after i installed the update, it still could not find an internet connection. I am using a MAC OSX 10.4 tiger. My version of LW is 4.9.30 and version of java is 1.4.2_09. I am on an LAN at school and connection is pretty much DSL. I know it cannot be my school's network because others are able to connect. They use windows, though. Please let me know what you can do for me. I am really desperate!!! thanks......  |

 Looks like Tiger no longer has a quick setting for LW, Is your 10.4.2 firewall on? I think it is already off by default. If it is on, just add port 6346 (TCP andd UDP) to the New->Other Sharing System Preferrences for the Firewall. Name that setting whatever you like ("LimeWire" would be the obvious choice). Java 1.4.2_09 is the latest for OS 10.4.2 just now, so all should be set up properly Check for sure by asking to plug into the same cable that "just connects-fine friends" also uses. |

| Hi...thanks for the reply, but I already tried to do that. It still will not run. I did it again, still nothing. And yes, my connection is fine. Its just the LW connection. I even ran a computer check-up, and my connection passed. Nothing is wrong with it. Any other suggestions though??? |

| Flores, you fail to mention in this thread that your Limewire was obtained through a scam site. I feel it would be wise to uninstall it along with the preference folder and start again with a fresh copy from www.limewire.com ... Just a thought.... may help ... I don't knoiw

| Nice catch Hobo (sorry I missed that). Deleting the prefs folder (use spotlight to search in the Home folder to find it) shouldn't matter if the LW did indeed come from the official LimeWire site, but it can't hurt. Then redownload the Basic (free) one from the official site at http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml and reinstall. Were you able to plug your friend's internet cable into your Mac, Flores? Once your new LW is installed, the key settings to compare will be in the Advanced->Firewall section of the LimeWire options. Just use the same settings as your friends, since they have pretty much the same options. Other than that, the other settings shouldn't matter, since you probably have your Apple Menu->Location->Network Preferences set to "Automatic" Last edited by stief; October 8th, 2005 at 06:13 PM. |
