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.

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.

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.

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.

 Connection Problems (Vista-McAfee-Limewire) Just like everyone else here, I've got issues. I didn't find what I was looking for, so I'm asking for help. 1. OS version? Windows Vista 2. What firewalls you have? McAfee, Windows. 3. How much ram? 2GB 4. Hard Disk space available? 60+ gigs 5. Connection type? Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 2Wire 2700HG-E (ISP supplied it) 7. Where are you trying to connect from? House 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.12.11, Java 1.6.0-oem 9. Who is your ISP provider? Telus 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? Test works. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? Yes, 2 other computers w/ limewire. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? Experienced user, but new computer & new problem. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Don't know, I didn't set it up. Okay, so I'm sharing the connection with two other computers. I'm directly connected to the modem, the other two are via wireless. I got LimeWire for my new laptop a couple weeks ago. It worked initially, but rather slowly. (Please note that I have tried when there are other users from my house online, and when they are offline). The last few times I started LW, however, it simply killed my internet connection. Limewire would go from between one and three bars of connectivity, and then die back down to one. Simultaneously, it completely killed my internet connection. Internet Explorer wouldn't work, Messenger, anything that required a connection was disconnected. A restart of the computer is needed to restore the connection. I'm sure it's my computer, as the others in my house (running Windows XP, LW 4.12.11 and previous, through a wireless connection) have no problems. I've tried reinstalling LimeWire, I've tried using a wireless connection, and restarted my computer multiple times (whenever I try, basically). Any ideas? If I've missed something relevant to my situation elsewhere in the forums then by all means point me to it, but I'm stumped. I've no clue what's wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.  |

 It's McAfee I'd say...Here is a thread that has been started by one of McAfee's Tech guy's he is looking for people's system specs as to why Mcafee-Limewire-Vista wont work.... Have a look at it, he offers a temporary solution... Also I have provided a few links about other member's and their solutions for getting it to work...  http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...onnection.html

| Hey Canadian. I don't know if you ever fixed your problem but I have the same kind of issues. But it's not MCfee related, i don't even use it, so I don't know if your problem was related to that either. It seems to be a problem between the nature of p2p and VISTA configurations. I had the same problem with windows xp but not with the OS itself but with my router. It basically allowed all traffic until p2p in a way clotted the connection and webpages stopped opening. I had to get a script to change some settings on my router and it worked. I'm guessing the same kind of changes are needed on vista but I have no idea how to make them. I'm sure others have had similar problems. If anyone with the knowdlege could help out it would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| It sounds like two completely different problems... McAfee is Canadian's problem and your's was your router having a Nat Firewall by the sounds of it...

| Well it's not 'was' it's 'is'! The problem is still unsolved. The opinion i was giving was that his problem might not be Mcafee after all but might be same problem I have. Since he never said anything else I don't know. Also, the problem i mentioned that I had with XP and a router was not firewall related it had to do with some default values on the router like number of open connections and stuff like that. My current has the same behaviour but on Windows Vista and without a router. So my guess is Vista's configs are diff from Windows XP when it comes to p2p and they are causing this and I'm pretty new to Vista and I don't know where these configs are or how to change them. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. |

| Try this.... Uninstall your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.12 offline version....(4th one down) Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder... Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should
