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.

Hum LW 4.4 and up configure those Linksys computer automaticatilly, get it at www9.limewire.com:82/download/

Also, I think that you can connect to other LW on a lan by typing the lan address in the direct connect tab: ie 192.168.1.100:6346 To know your lan IP in os x go in system preferences, network, ethernet (or airport), select configure, go in TCP/IP tab and you should see the IP address.

Bonne chance!!

Chat was already enabled on both LMs.

We installed the new 4.4.3 version on the windows computer and disabled the firewall, but it still says that the firewall or a router is blocking the direct connect feature. In the options/firewall, it says that LM can work aroud the router by using UPnP but it doesn't do it.

If I select the "manual port" it says that I have to configure the router also. But I just tried that earlier and I lost all internet connections on both computers! I had to call Linksys support to reconfigure the router. So I'm pretty scared to play around with that again. The problem was that it's the mac that has the primary internal IP and when we assigned a static IP, it wasn't for the right computer. Anyway, I'm sure there's an easier (and fool-proof) way.

On the MS website, I found an upgrade for peer-to-peer connections, maybe that will work. The only other info I found there was that Windows 2000 is AppleTalk compatible, but nothing about win xp. There has to be a way for us to network because right now, we can't even share a printer! We have to play with the cables all the time.

In the Network setup wizard, it says that we have to run it on all computers that we want on the network, but I obviously can't run a win app on the mac (much less a win configured cd or floppy...).

If you can find anything alse, please keep me posted! I'm pulling my hair out over this!

Thanks

Your 2 computers are not connected directly on a lan right! You're only connected via the modem & router. So it's a bit different. (That's the way I see it!)

If you were connected directly via lan then you should be able to share printers. Particularly if you were using an assistant such as whatever it's called ... David I think. It can help to network a mac & pc.

Bien le bonjour cher ami québécois!

The problem is that we can't see each other on internet at all. We can't share printers, we can't direct connect on LM or in Age of Empires or anything else.

When we use the laptop (wich is also a PC running win xp), we can play against each other directly using our internal IP addresses (i.e. [Edit]) as long as we are using the same versions of the game. But we can't with the mac.

In LM, when I try to browse his computer with the method I explained earlier (blue stars instead of yellow), the IP that I see is [Edit]. But if I type the same thing in the direct connect window, it tells me that I can't browse this host.

I'm going to look on the Linksys website again to try to find a miracle! When I called them about loosing my connection, I also asked them about file and printer sharing and he said that he is not aloud to give us that information on the phone, that I have to take my chances on the website.

Vive le Québec libre!

Try [Edit].

That also gets back to my earlier reference to setting a different listening port on the 'other' LW.

Edited by request of user and ALSO because of the House Rules. (para LotR)

We did that, on the mac the port is 6348 and on the PC it's 6346.

I tried to connect to the pc using both the internal IP address ([Edit]) and the external IP:6346. But none of them work.

On the pc, I tried the same thing with 6348, but it says that a firewall or a router is blocking the direct connect feature. The firewalls of both computers are disabled. Now it seems that it's really just a router problem and that it it's a pc thing because we can't connect to anyone at all with that computer and it doesn't have that little added paragraph I mentioned earlier. BTW, on the mac, in that paragraph, it says that my IP adress is the external one:6348, not the usual internal [Edit] that it shows me when I look in my system preferences.

Well I tried the lan thing here, and it doesn't work, while the exterior IP works. I also just tried to connect to your IP with the 6346 and 6348 ports and it doesn't work, meaning that either your router or modem blocks connections. Are you sure UPnP is enabled in your Linksys config (look in the router settings).

Bonne chance
